Hot Fudge Sauce

I have been craving a hot fudge sundae all week.  I decided to make my own sauce.  It is amazing.  A Martha Stewart Recipe

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I usually add just  a little more)
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup half and half or evaporated milk
1/8 teaspoon salt (calls for kosher, I use regular)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (I leave out the above salt if I only have regular butter)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in saucepan except for vanilla.
Cook over med. heat.
Stir until mixture boils.
Set timer and boil for 2 minutes, stir occasionally I found 2 minutes was perfect
(Don't boil for more than 3 minutes or it will become like fudge).
Turn off heat and stir in vanilla.
Store in refrigerator up to a week.
Can reheat in microwave for a few seconds at a time or place in pan of hot water until sauce warms and thins.
