Homemade chocolate syrup tastes far superior to the store-bought kind, and it's nice to be able to adjust the chocolate-to-sugar ratio to match your individual preference. This lasts at least a few weeks (probably longer) in the fridge, and is great for chocolate milk, ice cream topping, or spooning directly into your mouth.
The Ingredients:
1 c water
1 c water
1 1/3 c powdered sugar
1 c cocoa powder
1/4 t salt
2 t vanilla
The Process:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk cocoa and salt into water until simmering and lump-free.
- Whisk in powdered sugar and continue to cook at a low simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Store syrup in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator.
Great alternative to store bought!
