Instructions

Place 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Let cool 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, use a large mixing bowl and hand mixer, or use a stand mixer to beat 2 cups salted butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

Beat in 2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating in between, until fully combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed in.

Add melted chocolate to the creamed butter. Mix on a medium speed until smooth and fudgy, about 30 to 60 seconds.
