Hot chocolate and fudge waffle topping

Put 1 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp double cream, 5 tbsp golden syrup, 1 tbsp soft dark brown sugar and 1 tbsp cocoa powder in a pan.
Heat gently, stirring until melted, then simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
Stir in 75g chopped dark chocolate until melted.
Add a couple of scoops of caramel ice cream or vanilla ice cream to warm waffles, then pour over the chocolate fudge sauce (any left-over sauce will keep in the fridge for a week). (Make your own ice cream with our recipes here.)
