Makes 2 cocktails
Begin by making the chocolate fudge sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, and half of the chocolate.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat slightly and simmer gently for a couple minutes or until chocolate has melted.
Remove from heat and add remaining chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Stir to combine and until all chocolate has melted. Set aside to cool completely before making the cocktails.
TIP: It’s helpful to pour some of the fudge sauce into a squeeze bottle, so you can easily apply it to the side of the martini glass.
To make the cocktails, pour some of the dark chocolate fudge sauce on a small plate and some pink sugar crystals on another. Rim the glass in the fudge sauce, then dip into the sprinkles to adhere.
Drizzle some of the chocolate fudge sauce on the inside of the glass. Add a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Add the vodka, chocolate liqueur, chocolate fudge sauce, half and half, and bitters. Shake for 20-30 seconds, then pour into glass. Enjoy!
