When I was in college, I would eat a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream topped with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and marshmallows almost every night. And by night, I mean about 10 pm. Ah the good ol' days when my metabolism rocked. Now, not so much. I wouldn't eat anything at 10 pm let alone a big bowl of ice cream. However, this chocolate syrup definitely tempts me into doing that. Or at least eating dessert when I get home from work.
This recipe has been going around the blogging world for awhile, and most people love it in their chocolate milk. However, I was always a Nesquik kind of girl. Give me the powdered stuff any day. I did try this in my milk one day, and it's good. I probably will start using this instead, especially considering that my container of Nesquik is about 4 years old. That may be a slight exaggeration but just slight. Yikes!
This syrup is really easy to make (about 15 minutes), and it's a great option to that other syrup out there. At least you know everything that's in it!
