Because of my adoration for chocolate, I absolutely love trying new chocolaty treats. Perfect for drizzling over ice cream or mixing for hot chocolate, you’ve got to try this delicious Homemade Chocolate Syrup (from the book Great Moments in Chocolate History).

Homemade Chocolate Syrup
Ingredients:
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
– a dash of salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt.
2. Gradually whisk in water to dissolve the cocoa mixture.
3. Over medium heat, bring to a boil stirring often.
4. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until chocolate sauce is reduced to about 1 1/4 cups.
5. Put chocolate syrup in a container and allow it to completely cool.
6. Store in a covered container for up to 3 weeks.
What a fun and delicious treat the entire family can enjoy. Some of my favorite ways my family chooses to enjoy this syrup is drizzled over brownies and ice cream, and mixed together with milk for hot chocolate. We also enjoy this syrup for dipping cinnamon gummy bears and fruit. The possibilities truly are endless.
