Directions
-
Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
-
Add the butter to the top of the double boiler and melt it completely over medium-low heat.
-
Add the unsweetened chocolate to the melted butter and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
-
Gradually pour in the water while stirring constantly to combine with the chocolate mixture.
-
Stir in the salt and mix thoroughly to ensure it is evenly distributed.
-
Slowly pour in the evaporated milk, stirring continuously to prevent curdling and to create a smooth, homogenous sauce.
-
Continue to heat and stir the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it is warm and slightly thickened.
-
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature before transferring to a storage container.

Note
Storage: Allow the syrup to cool completely before sealing the container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. The syrup will thicken when cold; simply warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on the stovetop over low heat before serving.
Substitutions: If you do not have a double boiler, you can melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Variations: For a richer flavor, substitute the unsweetened chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra aroma.
Tip: If the syrup separates, whisk vigorously while warming it gently to re-emulsify.
