Homemade Chocolate Syrup

  I just found this recipe and tried it and it is delicious!  Its not as thick as store bought  but its not full of corn syrup!  It is very rich because of the cocoa.  My kids love it.  I washed out an empty mayonaise jar to store it in the fridge.  I make a double batch at a time so it lasts longer.  A double batch makes a mayo jar full to top.  It would be good over ice cream also!





CHOCOLATE SYRUP

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.
