Step 1: Melt chocolate and butter very slowly in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until combined.
Step 2: In the meantime, heat water to boiling in the small, heavy saucepan.
Step 3: When the butter and chocolate melt, stir the mixture into the boiling water.
Step 4: Add sugar, corn syrup and salt, and mix until smooth.
Step 5: Turn the heat up and stir until mixture starts to boil, adjusting the heat so that sauce is just at the boiling point, stirring occasionally. Allow sauce to boil for 9 minutes.
Step 6: Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Stir in the vanilla (or the liquor flavoring of your choice), and serve warm over your favorite ice cream or dessert.
