Homemade Chocolate Syrup

I save a lot of money with this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Cocoa
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• dash of salt

Directions:

Combine cocoa, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Add water, and mix until smooth. Bring this mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for one minute, be careful this does not over boil. Remove from heat, when this cools add the vanilla.

I adapt this to the microwave by bringing it to a rolling boil in the microwave (about 6 minutes in mine). Probably less in everyone else's. :-) Just put it in a bowl that is large because it boils over easy and makes a big mess.
