- 1 pinch table salt
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces milk chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- In food processor, process butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
- Add corn syrup and vanilla and process until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
- Scrape sides of bowl, then add chocolate (cooled to 85u0b0 - 100u0b0 F) and pulse until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 seconds.
