Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Here's a perfect recipe for gooey chocolate syrup (without preservatives and other chemicals).


This is so thick and chocolatey!  It's great for making chocolate milk, topping ice cream, adding to brownie batter, or (my favorite) adding to my iced coffee!




3/4 CWater
1.5 C Sugar
3/4 C Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
Pinch Kosher Salt
2 T Corn Syrup


Boil water and sugar together.  Whisk in remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for about two minutes.  Let mixture cool and pour into storage container of choice.  (I use glass).  Once it's cool, I keep it in the fridge. 

mmmm!  Look how rich!

I like to use a high quality cocoa for a very chocolately flavor.  
My favorite is Sharffen Berger.

  2. oh wow, this looks so good. Have you tried making it with Splenda or a sugar substitute? I love my twice daily mochas, but wish I could cut the calories....

  3. Thanks! @Ryan: I'm glad you like the recipe. Enjoy :) @Stef: I haven't braved the sugar substitute with this yet. I've heard that certain brands don't hold up well to the boiling heat. mmm Mochas are so good! This recipe certainly isn't low calorie but it's so rich in my iced coffee that it doesn't take much to taste the chocolate.

  8. Wow! That's so awesome. Wait til I tell my hubby. He loves the stuff, and would drink it everyday in a tall glass of milk if I kept it around that often. :) Now, I just might have to surprise him with a homemade version. Ha! I have a recipe share party going on at my blog until Saturday 11 pm. I would love it if you would post this recipe over there!

    Blessings-

  16. Thanks so much for that recipe. We've had to tighten our budget lately after signing up for Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I am trying to find more frugal ways to save money on groceries. I'd been buying the large bottle of Hershey's syrup for the kids and it's over $3.50 a bottle! It doesn't last us 2 weeks. After seeing your recipe, I see I have everything I need to make it! This will definately save money on my grocery bill! Thanks!
