Fresh Friday: Housemade Chocolate Syrup

We used dark cocoa powder and the sauce was smooth and shiny and delicious!  

Keep a jar in the fridge.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp corn starch
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups hot water
2 tsp vanilla

Measure sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt into saucepan.  Mix in hot water and vanilla. Heat until boiling, stirring constantly.  Boil for 3 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 cups.

We used it for topping ice cream but you can also mix 2-3 tbsp in hot or cold milk for yummy chocolate milk.
