Directions:
1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces.
2. Combine chocolate, 2 cups milk, cream, sugar/splenda, instant espresso granules, cocoa, and salt in a large saucepan.

4. Stir the remailning milk and cornstarch together and whisk into the chocolate mixture.
5. Simmer for a minute whisking and scraping down the sides with a spatula until thick.
6. Add the butter and vanilla and cook one more minute.
