1. Place 1/3 cup heavy cream, sugar and salt in saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and cream comes to a boil. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add oil and vanilla and whisk until fully combined and creamy. Let cool 5 minutes or until tepid.
