- 2Butter bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
- 3Line bottom with parchment or waxed paper.
- 4Using heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrap foil under and up outside of spring form pan to prevent leaks; set aside.

- 6Cook over low heat, stirring often, until chocolate and butter melt and mixture is smooth.
