I’ve really enjoyed Jillee’s One Good Thing blog. She’s got great natural tips for the home and yummy ones, too! Today we (that is me, and my small kitchen helper) tried a recipe for homemade chocolate syrup, and it was a definite hit! We enjoyed some delicious homemade chocolate milk.
HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Ghirardelli)
1 cup water
dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a small saucepan, add sugar, cocoa, and salt. Whisk together gently. Add water. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool. Store in the refrigerator.
For delicious chocolate milk, add 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup to 8 oz. of milk. Heat for hot chocolate.
For milk shakes, combine 1 cup cold milk, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup and 2 cups (1 pint) of vanilla ice cream to a blender. Blend.
This syrup would also make a delicious dessert garnish or ice cream topping.

We also plotted our next flavor of….
CAKE BALLS
chocolate cake
1 tsp mint extract
milk chocolate frosting.
We cooked it and are just waiting to crumble it up and mix away! Can’t wait to try this one. 🙂
