Homemade chocolate syrup is a delicious treat that tastes great drizzled over pancakes or as a topping for ice cream.

Ingredients:

cocoa powder

sugar

water

salt

vanilla

Chocolate syrup has long been a favorite dessert topping. The sweet, thick liquid is often served alongside desserts such as ice cream, cakes, pies, and cookies.

To make the syrup, whisk 1 cup cocoa powder (the regular variety, not Dutch-processed cocoa) with 2 cups of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan.

Once you have all of the dry ingredients mixed well, add 1 cup of water and stir well. Turn the stove on medium-high heat and stir occasionally.

Allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Stir it well and then let the syrup cool for about an hour before bottling and refrigerating it.
