Default Chocolate booze recipe

I posted this in rec.food.cooking, but maybe you chocoholics would
appreciate it more.My mom had copied this page from a mag, not sure
which one. This is fantastic and totally decadent

1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup bourbon
Put chocolate in a small bowl. Heat the corn syrup and water to
boiling, and add to choc- stir until choc is melted- set aside for 5
min to cool. Mix together the sweetened milk, half & half, and the
cream-add vanilla & bourbon & choc mixture. The recipe said to blend in
small batches in a blender, but I just whisked it in a pitcher well.
Pour into bottle and refridgerate overnight. This will keep 2 weeks in
fridge, if it lasts that long. The recipe said you could sub vodka for
the bourbon for a more neutral flavor. I tried it last night, and I
also used Callebaut milk chocolate instead of the dark. Also the first
time I made this, I didn't have any good quality bittersweet, so I used
Nestle dark choc chips, which are far from what the recipe called for,
but it was still ok! Please enjoy responsibly, if that's possible...
