Peppermint Hot Fudge Sundaes

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup, plus more to adjust consistency
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

Peppermint candy, coarsely chopped

Directions

Combine heavy cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Stir to combine, and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, and add chocolate and peppermint extract.
