CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Received this recipe from my daughter, Jennifer, who got it from my other daughter, Heather.

YIELD:  About 2 1/4 cups

In a medium size pot, mix:

        1 1/2 cups water

        1 1/2 cups cocoa

Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa.

Add: 2 1/2 cups sugar and whisk to dissolve.

Boil for about 3 minutes over medium heat.

Watch it to make sure it doesn’t get too hot and boil over.

Remove from heat and add

        1 teaspoon vanilla extract
        1/4 teaspoon salt

Let cool.

Store in the refrigerator.

Note: If you like dark chocolate, try making this with Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa.
