- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
 - 1/3 cup light corn syrup
 - 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 - 1/3 cup canned evaporated milk
 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 - 1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream
 - 1/2 cup canned salted Spanish peanuts
 
- In a medium saucepan, heat the chocolate, corn syrup, coffee granules and cinnamon over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the evaporated milk and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. (The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.)
 - Let the sauce cool slightly before ladling over the ice cream. Sprinkle the peanuts over tops.
