Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 Dash salt

Directions

• Use a big saucepan - at least 2 quarts. This will expand when boiling, and overflows will make a big mess on your stovetop! (I use this 3-quart saucepan that was part of a bigger set I received as a gift. Its my favorite for making anything sweet because the heavy bottom keeps it from heating up too fast.)
• Combine the cocoa powder, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
• Stir constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon until it boils.
• Allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Add vanilla.
• Syrup will be very thin/watery. Allow to cool completely and it will thicken to about the same consistency as Hersheys syrup.
