This creamy, delectable dip is a chocolate lover's dream. You'll want to sample it with a variety of dippers, including strawberries, banana chunks and cake cubes. Jane Shapton of Irvine, California sent the recipe.

Ingredients:
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1-1/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup baking cocoa
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
•
• Strawberries, banana chunks, apple slices or angel food cake cubes

Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cocoa, cream and half of the syrup mixture until smooth; return to the pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped chocolate until melted. Serve warm with fruit or cake for dipping. Refrigerate leftovers.
