Instructions
 

  • Combine butter, cocoa, sugar, and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until everything is melted and the mixture is a liquid.
  • Raise the temperature to medium or medium-high heat and cook until the mixture boils, stirring occasionally with a whisk, and continue to boil for 7 minutes.
  • After 7 minutes, remove from heat and immediately stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. The chocolate chips should melt and the mixture should be smooth.

Notes

If for some reason, you have trouble getting the sauce to a smooth consistency, you could put it in the blender and whir it around in there for a few seconds. This will smooth out any lumps. I would not recommend reheating the sauce because the chocolate will burn very quickly.
