Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipe

This makes great, homemade chocolate syrup. The only fat in the recipe is any incidental fat that might be in the cocoa.

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa

Directions

Add the sugar and water to a saucepan. Stir and cook until the syrup reaches a full boil. Remove from the heat.

Add the cocoa a little at a time, whisking steadily as you add the powder. Press the hot syrup through a fine strainer. Add the extract. After sitting for a few minutes, you are likely to have a scum on the top. Skim it off. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
