Chocolate Syrup
Print This Post
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 cup tap water
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Find a 2 quart saucepan. In it, mix the cocoa and water with a wire whisk or fork. Heat the chocolate water over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar and continue to stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and boil for a full 3 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat.
Add the salt and vanilla, stirring to blend. Pour the syrup into a clean pint sized canning jar, or a clean catsup container. Put a good lid on the jar and store it in the fridge.
Use this chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk, or serve it over ice-cream. This is remarkably similar to Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup in the can.
When it comes to cheap drink recipes, it’s hard to beat the old-fashioned switchel. It is similar to lemonade, and was made quite a bit in the old days when folks didn’t have lemons around.

Great recipe I made some for church ice cream social tonight. I will let you know how everyone likes it.

This would be better than Hershey’s in the can, that stuff is made with HFCS, and we could all do with a lot less of it.

Made this earlier today, and the kids and hubby LOVED it. Thanks for the asy, great recipe. We usually buy Ovaltine, and ran out about a week ago. I was planning on buying more on next shopping trip, but this will be our go-to choc. from now on.

I made this today and my husband really likes it. We had no idea that you could make chocolate syrup at home. It is petty awesome.

I have been making this recipe for a few months now and everyone (family, friends, guests) LOVE it! It tastes very similar to the Hershey’s stuff, but costs WAAYY less. I just put it in a hershey syrup bottle and refill when it gets low. Thank you so much for this recipe.

My family has decided that my homemade cho syrup is better that the store bought kind. However I haven’t caught any of the adult children actually making it. Instead it’s “Mom you need to make…………..”

I use 1 1/2 cups sugar. I mix everything together and put it in a crockpot on low for about 2-3 hours, and add the vanilla at the end.
