CHOCOLATE SYRUP

I hate to spend money on chocolate syrup. I don't like most cheaper brands and even with sales and coupons, it's an expense I hate to pay for. Plus, the ingredients aren't the best. 


Step into my life homemade chocolate syrup. BHG originally published this recipe some 40+ years ago. Well, wow! It's got 5 ingredients. You control the quality of them and it's super quick and easy!

CHOCOLATE SYRUP

2 cups sugar

1 cup cocoa powder (I used Hershey's)

1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt

1-1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1. In a small saucepan, mix cocoa, sugar & salt. 
2. Add water.
3. Stir over medium heat just until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently (this only takes a few minutes and doesn't need to boil or get super hot as long as the sugar dissolves).
4. Remove from heat.
5. Add vanilla & stir.
6. Let cool slightly and store covered in the refrigerator.

I stored the syrup in a old creamer bottle. Made the label to make it look fancy.
