Hot fudge sauce to die for

Just made some really, really good hot fudge sauce. Here's the recipe:

5 oz unsweetened chocolate
1C sugar
2T butter
1C heavy cream
1/8t salt
1/4C Bailey's Irish Cream
1/3C Berry puree (just pulverized berries, strained to get rid of the seeds)

Put the chocolate, cream, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Melt in the microwave. (~4 minutes, but heat for a minute, stir, and repeat until everything's just barely melted) Add the butter. Re-nuke a bit if need be to get the butter melted.

You'll have about 2 2/3C of sauce at this point. Split the base sauce into two parts. In one part add the 1/4C of Baileys. In the other part add the 1/3C berry puree.

Nice 'n simple, but very, very tasty.
