Here’s a perfect recipe for gooey, rich chocolate syrup (without preservatives and other chemicals).
This is so thick and chocolatey! This chocolate syrup is great for making chocolate milk, topping ice cream, drizzling over Puffy German Pancakes, adding to brownie batter, or (my favorite) adding to my iced coffee!
Homemade Chocolate Syrup
3/4 C Water
1.5 C Sugar
3/4 C Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
2 T Corn Syrup
Optional:
After the chocolate syrup has cooled, add 1 drop of Edible Peppermint Essential Oil or 3 drops of Edible Orange Essential Oil.
***(I use oils EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Learn more about why I need them here.)***
Boil water and sugar together. Whisk in remaining ingredients (except for the essential oils – add them after the mixture has cooled.) and cook over medium heat for about two minutes. Let the chocolate syrup cool and pour into storage container of choice. (I use glass). Once it’s cool, I keep it in the fridge.
and About Essential Oils
Essential Oils have knocked my socks off! I’m embarrassed to say I used to use whatever oils I could find in my grocery store. After learning about therapeutic grade oils, my life has been forever changed! I’ve since detoxed my body and my home and I feel AMAZING! Come see what I mean.
Already Have Oils?
Oh my goodness! Move over Hershey's! Thanks Sugar Bananas. This will be a special past time for me and my daughter for years to come. Yummy!
oh wow, this looks so good. Have you tried making it with Splenda or a sugar substitute? I love my twice daily mochas, but wish I could cut the calories….
Thanks! @Ryan: I'm glad you like the recipe. Enjoy 🙂 @Stef: I haven't braved the sugar substitute with this yet. I've heard that certain brands don't hold up well to the boiling heat. mmm Mochas are so good! This recipe certainly isn't low calorie but it's so rich in my iced coffee that it doesn't take much to taste the chocolate.
SUPER YUMMO!
Thanks for stopping by Tuesday Tastes. You may have forgotten your party favor button…. head over and grab one when you have a chance.
You had me at Iced Coffee….
Have been looking for a good chocolate syrup recipe! Thanks for posting!!
Oooh what a good idea – Hershey's syrup is getting old. 🙂
Wow! That's so awesome. Wait til I tell my hubby. He loves the stuff, and would drink it everyday in a tall glass of milk if I kept it around that often. 🙂 Now, I just might have to surprise him with a homemade version. Ha! I have a recipe share party going on at my blog until Saturday 11 pm. I would love it if you would post this recipe over there!

Looks delicious!
Thanks for linking at Lucky Star Lane!
Thanks so much for that recipe. We've had to tighten our budget lately after signing up for Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I am trying to find more frugal ways to save money on groceries. I'd been buying the large bottle of Hershey's syrup for the kids and it's over $3.50 a bottle! It doesn't last us 2 weeks. After seeing your recipe, I see I have everything I need to make it! This will definately save money on my grocery bill! Thanks!
Sarah, wanted to let you know I used your recipe today! It turned out great! I posted it on my blog and mentioned you with a link to your page! Thanks so much for the great recipe! It was tasty!
Ooooh, looks yummy!

Yay! It’s so so so good! I’m glad you’re enjoying this recipe. Heck, I’ve even been know to quadruple this recipe – and it keeps for months in the fridge.
Thanks
How long can you store it in the fridge?

When I make the chocolate syrup, it doesn’t last very long before it’s gone. Once I made a huge batch and it lasted in the fridge for a few months with no problems.
