In my quest to make more things from scratch in the kitchen, I have mastered the chocolate sauce. This makes for wonderful chocolate milk and we drizzle it over ice cream too. It takes only about 5-10 minutes to make and lasts a few months.
You will need 1 cup water, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 t. vanilla and 1/8 t. salt. Mix all ingredients except for the vanilla in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Once it cools down it thickens up to the consistency of Hershey's syrup.
That's it. I keep mine in a bottle with an attached plug but any jar would work. I also like to label my bottle with not only what's inside but the recipe too. This way when I run out and need to make another batch, I don't have to dig around for the recipe, it's right there on the bottle.
Love it yum! You are an inspiration to me in the kitchen. Can you share the Amish Farmer info? Would love to get that set up before school starts...
