Not very long ago, i came across a recipe for homemade chocolate syrup at this blog, My inspired heart. You know the kind you use for chocolate milk.I always want to buy it but i just never do, probably for good reason. But it looked yummy and easy, so why not give it a try. We were not disappointed.
CHOCOLATE SYRUP
1/3 c. cocoa powder
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
pinch salt
1/2 t. vanilla
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar and salt in the water, whisk so all ingredients are combined. Bring to a boil over medium heat. watch out for boiling over. boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Once it cools pour in a jar to store. Refrigerate....this makes it a little thicker, more like store bought.
When i make it again i think that i will lower the sugar and raise the amount of cocoa powder. It is also very good over ice cream....just ask the kids or Chris. They say it is great.

And no corn syrup...well played Leslie, well played. I will have to give that one a shot with the reduced sugar. Do you ever outgrow chocolate milk?
How very fun! What a great project. I need you to show me how to do these things with my boys. I'm not a big kid project mom but I wnat to get better.:) Thanks for inspiring me. My boys will love this. And I agree with MaryMary do you ever outgrow chocolate milk?:)
That's perfect! Grant is always asking for chocolate milk. I'll have to make this.

mmm!!! I just bought some hershey's special dark cocoa too, I wonder how that would taste! When you perfect the sugar:cocoa ratio, let us know!
