chocolate syrup

I made my own chocolate syrup and let me tell you it is GOOD! So easy and so yummy. I got it off pinterest and even got to use my cool new Marshalls find. EnJOY!

The one I liked the best was from Amy Dacyczyn’s The Complete Tightwad Gazette. ½ cup cocoa powder 1 cup water 2 cups sugar ⅛ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon vanilla Mix the cocoa powder and the water in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Add the sugar, and stir to dissolve. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Be careful not to let it get too hot and boil over! Add the salt and the vanilla. Let cool. Pour into a clean glass jar, and store in the refrigerator. Keeps for several months, but trust me it will be gone before then. Yields two cups. The result is very rich, so I only use a teaspoon for a glass of chocolate milk.
