Scrumptious Sunday!

Time for another Scrumptious Sunday. This week I am sharing a recipe for homemade chocolate syrup. Doesn’t chocolate cure everything?

Chocolate Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the cocoa and the water in a saucepan. Heat and stir until cocoa is dissolved.

Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Boil exactly 3 mins. Remove from burner, add the salt and vanilla. Keep in a refrigerator. This will keep for several months. This makes slightly more than a pint.

I have made more than this at one time and put in cute jars, with a ribbon, or put in a basket. It makes a great inexpensive gift :)

For the next two months Happy to be at Home will be hosting a virtual recipe swap. It is easy as pie to participate. Link your recipe post (any post, old or new) to our Mr. Linky. We can’t wait to read and try all of your yummy recipes. We will be posting a new Mr. Linky every Sunday, so you can add a new recipe each week!

Please remember to link your recipe post and not your blog homepage, that way our readers can find your recipe. Please remember to link back to Happy to be at Home so others can find out about the swap and participate!
