Chocolate Syrup

This chocolate syrup makes the best, richest chocolate milk, and it's great on anything you'd use the name brand chocolate syrup on. It's smooth, not at all watery, and the flavor is a robust chocolate.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • To a sauce pan, add water, sugar, cocoa, salt, and instant coffee. Whisk together.
  • On medium heat, heat until boiling.
  • Boil until the mixture reaches 220 degrees. The longer it boils, the thicker it will get. I don't go above 220 so it stays pourable when chilled.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla.
  • Use immediately for a delicious hot fudge ice cream topping or chill to add to milk or coffee.
