1 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 TBS butter
1/2 pint (1 cup) light cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

| Place chocolate in a double boiler and melt over barely simmering water. (This can also be done in a heavy saucepan, just be careful to not burn the chocolate.) |

| Stir in the sugar, salt, butter. If you are using a double boiler, remove it and place it directly on the stove eye. |
 |
| Gradually add the cream, stirring until smooth. |
 |
| Increase the heat slightly to low-medium and stir constantly for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not boil. |

Oh my gosh—you have the same Revere Ware set I have!
Love Maida Heatter. I’ve been baking with her (and that cookware) since the 1980s. Fun idea to cook through her books! I had the chocolate desserts signed by Maida and her great American desserts book. For my stepson’s rehearsal dinner I made Buckeyes for him (we’re in Ohio) and Maida’s Texas Truffles for the bride. Delicious!
Thank you for visiting and commenting. I love buckeyes!
