Homemade Chocolate Syrup



Hi out there! 
I made chocolate syrup/sauce from scratch the other night and it was so easy and delicious I wanted to share the recipe. You can use it the same way you'd use Hershey's chocolate syrup or any similar brand, but it will be a million times better because you'll know it has just 3 simple main ingredients. 😊 
Here they are:

Ingredients: 
-1 cup organic cocoa powder 
-1 cup organic sugar 
-1 cup water 
- a dash of additional flavoring (optional), such as cinnamon, vanilla, or peppermint. (I used a little cinnamon). 

And here are the super easy directions!:

Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan on medium heat, stirring to remove lumps and thicken, for about 5-10 minutes. Pour into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator. That's it! 

So far I have used this syrup to make chocolate milk and added it to my iced coffee the last 2 mornings. If we had ice cream I would have gladly poured it over that by now. 




Bon Apetite!
