I have a list of things we like or eat often that I plan to make and share over the next few months. The very first thing on that list was Chocolate Syrup.
The boys LOVE a glass of chocolate milk. And I do too, but just don't drink it often. But I did today.
This syrup was so simple!!!
It was great in milk. And I just know it will go great with ice cream or any other dessert(cheesecake)you like chocolate syrup on. A little goes a long way!
What I truly love about it is I know exactly what went in this syrup. And there was nothing artificial and disgusting!!! I am saying goodbye to Hershey's and Nesquik chocolate syrup!!!!!
Homemade Chocolate Syrup
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup water
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions-In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cocoa powder and whisk briefly to break up any clumps. Stir in the water and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Store in the refrigerator.
And my taste tester.........
.......he said, "Mom, it taste just like that chocolate milk with the cows on it." I think he is referring to some organic brand. I am taking that as a good thing! Score homemade chocolate syrup!!!!
Enjoy the simple life!
