Easy Chocolate Syrup

This Easy Chocolate Syrup has a LOT of sugar in it; I'm just putting it out there. First and foremost.

What is impressive, however, about this recipe is what it DOESN'T have in it. Corn Syrup. High Fructose Corn Syrup. And if you actually READ the list of ingredients on a bottle of chocolate syrup, there are a TON of other ingredients NOT included in this recipe. And THAT alone is justification for making AND consuming this Easy Chocolate Syrup.

Plus, there are only FIVE ingredients.

Easy Chocolate Syrup
(I've made this a couple times over now.)

What you Need:
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder (I used half dark and half cacao powder)
1 cup water
dash of salt (not pictured for some reason or another)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add your dry ingredients to a sauce pan. Mix/Whisk them together.

Pre mix/whisk.

Add your water and combine.

Bring to a boil and stir until thick (about 5 minutes). Turn OFF the heat and add the vanilla. Turn the flame back on and cook for two minutes or so. You can let your chocolate syrup cool in the pan (in the refrigerator), or move it over to a GLASS container and place in the refrigerator.

VIOLA! So quick. SO easy. It makes for a somewhat boring blog post.
