Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined. Add 1 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup light corn syrup, then stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 235–238°F on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool undisturbed until it reaches at least 180°F. Once cooled, add 1/2 cup salted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir briskly for 1 minute or until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature until set. Once firm, cut into small squares and serve.

Notes
- If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test by dropping a small spoonful of the hot mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens when pressed between your fingers, it’s ready.
