Chocolate...It's healthy! Okay...maybe not.

Do you remember the Hershey's Syrup that you could buy in a can? I don't even know if they sell that stuff anymore! But I can remember the can sitting in the fridge with the yellow top on it...using that can opener (the triangle one) to open it! That starts a totally different topic when I think about those can openers. I sure wish they still sold Ecto Cooler Hi-C drink!!

 

So a friend posted a picture on Facebook the other day...HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP. She said it was easy...and delicious. So I had to try. This is a different recipe that what she used...but I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

 

It has no preservatives! I bet you could even use carob powder if you were looking for a more "heatlthy" chocolate. I can't wait to use it in some milk...on ice cream...or just eat it with a spoon. ENJOY!!

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water

Dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

 

In a small saucepan, add sugar, cocoa, and salt.  Whisk together gently.  Add water.  Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat and cook 1 minute.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Cool.  Store in the refrigerator.
