Method

Pour water into a pan until it is no more than one-third full.
Find a bowl which will rest over the pan without touching the water, and add the chocolate, golden syrup and cream.
Heat gently until everything in the pan has melted, then stir to combine.
Keep the bowl resting over the pan of warm water to keep the sauce warm and runny until you are ready to serve.
