Best 3 Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until blended. Add the water and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and whisk over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
• Continue boiling until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. The mixture will still be fairly thin (it thickens to a syrup-like consistency once cool). Taste and stir in additional salt until dissolved, up to 1/4 teaspoon, if desired.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool. Taste again. If it's not sweet enough for you, add a bit more sugar and stir in the warm syrup until dissolved.
• Store syrup in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. The syrup should keep, refrigerated, for at least a month.

HOMEMADE HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Steps:

• Whisk cocoa powder and milk together thoroughly in a large saucepan.
• Heat and whisk to dissolve the cocoa. (I use medium-low heat).
• Add the sugar and stir/whisk to dissolve. Be sure the sugar has dissolved before continuing on, so your syrup is not grainy.
• Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this VERY carefully. Mine has a tendency to want to boil over immediately, so I have to continuously take it on and off of the burner.
• Remove from heat and stir in salt and vanilla extract.
• Let cool completely and skim off any skin that may have formed.
• Pour into a clean/sterile jar with a spout and store covered in the refrigerator.
