Note from Grandma:
Cake flour works the best in this recipe. If you do not have cake flour you can make a substitute at home.
To make 1 cup cake flour, take 7/8 cup all purpose flour and add 1 T. corn starch. To get 7/8 cup of flour, measure 1 cup of all purpose flour and remove 2 tablespoons worth of flour.

2 chocolate squares baking chocolate (not semi-sweet)
premelted natural unsweetened chocolate
2 T. white corn syrup
2 cups sugar
1 cup cream
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 T. butter or so
