Homemade Chocolate Syrup

These look delicious, Stephanie!
Oh my goodness, these look so good!
Chocolate milk is my favorite. I am definitely going to try the homemade syrup. I have made it a few times before, but I have never found a recipe that came out well. I have been told because I distrub it before it’s completely cool (although I have heard it doesn’t matter either).
Any tips?
I think the trick is doing only a single batch and really cooking that sugar syrup well so it doesn’t crystalize as it cools. Then whisk in the cocoa until smooth. When I’ve tried to take shortcuts, I end up with a weird texture or it ends up being too thin. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
These recipes all look good! So glad I stopped by from Sweet Inspiration at The Boondock’s Blog today. 🙂
Hope you are enjoying the new year,
Hugs,
