Ingredients

  • ¾ c. brown sugar
  • ¾ c. white sugar
  • 1 c. cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 c. cold water
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla

Instructions

  • Combine sugars, cocoa powder and salt. Add water; whisk until smooth.
  • Heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5 min.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool. Store in fridge.

Notes

  • Syrup will thicken as it cools, but if you like a really thick syrup, you may want to boil longer than 5 min.
  • The chocolate syrup should be stored in the refrigerator and will last at least 2 weeks.
  • Once cooled, syrup can be reheated to serve warm.
