When I first ran across this recipe for Chocolate Syrup in The Tightwad Gazette, I was anxious to try it…especially since we’d just run out and I already had all the ingredients on hand. What could be better!
1/2 c Cocoa
1 c Water
2 c Sugar
1/8 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Vanilla
Mix cocoa and water in a saucepan. Heat until all the cocoa powder is dissolved. Add the sugar and continue to heat until it is dissolved. Boil for 3 min. Now, add the salt and the vanilla. Stir. Cool and store in the fridge. Keeps for several months.
We’ve enjoyed having it this month. I do wish I’d kept the bottle the original stuff was in, rather than messing with the mason jar. And, upon using it, I do have to say that I think 2 cups of sugar is too much and makes it too sweet. But, I’m a dark chocolate girl, so that probably has something to do with it.
Enjoy your homemade chocolaty goodness!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I’ve saved some glass bbq sauce bottles to keep mine in. I saw the recipe before and am ready to try it now
The chocolate sauce looks yummy! I don’t buy chocolate syrup, so the kids would be very happy if I made some. um…yeah….so would I! lol
Thanks for the recipe!
thanks for posting! I LOVE learning how to make things from scratch! We have lots of ice cream toppings at the moment, as i’ve kinda cut back on our late night ice-cream binges and certainly on the toppings… but i KNOW this will come in handy once our stash is depleted….
Thanks for the recipe, Kim! I And for the tip about the sugar – I like my chocolate dark, too.
I’m excited to try it!
