Consider: Chocolate Syrup

Hershey's Chocolate Syrup:
high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, coco, sugar, potasssium sorbate, salt, mono-and diglycerides, xanthan gum, polysorbate 60, vanillin, artificial flavor.


Homemade Chocolate Syrup:
cocoa, water, sugar, salt, vanilla



HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla

Mix the cocoa powder and the water in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Add the sugar, and stir to dissolve. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Be careful not to let it get too hot and boil over! Add the salt and the vanilla. Let cool. Pour into a clean glass jar, and store in the refrigerator. Keeps for several months, but trust me it will be gone before then. Yields two cups
