Homemade Chocolate Syrup is a boon! Keep this ready to use syrup at home to drizzle on your ice-creams, add to your shakes or coffee or even to desserts.

Lot of times when I need to use, I shy away from using chocolate sauce or syrup simply because I rarely stock it. When everything is made from scratch using a store-bought seems so wrong. I know I sound like a snob!

But I am not. Swear. ;)

So when I came across this simple recipe for making chocolate syrup with cocoa powder, I couldn’t resist and now I have a bottle of ready-to-use chocolate syrup in my refrigerator.

Though I doubt by the time I will come back from holidays, it will still be available to use. Knowing V, it will get over as soon as I leave the house.

This surely is going to add to the staple ingredients in my home. Though next time on, I would be reducing the sugar to about 1½ cup, as we prefer mild sweet but for a more sweet tooth, go with original quantity.
