CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Published: Jan 11, 2022 by Samantha Skaggs · Post may contain affiliate links.

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

This amazing homemade Chocolate Syrup -- made with five simple ingredients in
about five minutes -- is a scrumptious topping for ice cream and makes perfect
chocolate milk! It's economical and easy to make using real, straightforward
ingredients.

In case you've never noticed, I've got quite a thing for making my own kitchen
staples. There are dry mixes for the pantry, of course, from chili mix to
pancake mix to cornbread mix. But I also like to stock my refrigerator with
natural, homemade versions of what I used to buy at the grocery store, from
barbecue sauce to honey mustard to coffee creamer. So it's only expected that l
I should add a delectable Chocolate Syrup recipe to the list, dontcha' think?

Awhile back, I shared a recipe for my to-die-for Homemade Caramel Sauce that
whips up in just FIVE minutes with only FIVE ingredients.

And guess what?

Today, I've got a 5-ingredient, 5-minute, homemade Chocolate Syrup recipe for
you! It's reminiscent in flavor and consistency to the classic brand that's sold
in those famous dark brown bottles and cans...but without any of the crazy
ingredients!

Now this is not a thick fudge sauce, mind you. It's a thinner syrup that you can
stir into milk or drizzle over ice cream for that perfect banana split.

WHY MAKE CHOCOLATE SYRUP?

I stopped buying the “traditional” brand of Chocolate Syrup several years ago in
an effort to feed my family real foods made with simple and natural ingredients.

Over time, we’ve tried a few organic brands, but they never tasted quite as good
as our old standby. And they could be quite expensive.

But this recipe?

Not only does it taste better than the original, but it's also economical. It's
totally cost effective to make it in small batches or big batches.

But best of all, you know exactly what's in it!

INGREDIENTS

I love being able to control what goes into my Chocolate Syrup. And you can't
get much more straightforward than just FIVE simple ingredients!

1. Water. The base.
2. Sugar. Combines with the water to form a simple syrup.
3. Cocoa powder. You'll want to use a regular cocoa powder here, not
Dutch-processed. As far as the brand, go with Hershey's cocoa powder if
that's the brand of syrup you're trying to imitate, or a "fancier" cocoa
powder for a more gourmet outcome.
4. Vanilla. I recommend using a good-quality pure vanilla extract, since the
flavor will shine through.
5. Salt. It might seem counterintuitive to add salt to a sweet recipe, but just
a tiny bit makes the chocolate flavor pop.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

I think you will love having this easy recipe (that can be ready in mere
minutes!) in your arsenal.

Here's how to do it:

1. Make a simple syrup. Dissolve the sugar into the water and cook for a few
minutes while occasionally stirring.
2. Stir in the cocoa powder and salt, and cook for a couple more minutes.

3. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Your Chocolate Syrup
recipe will be pretty runny at this point, so you'll need to refrigerate it
in order for it to thicken further.

4. Enjoy it warm or allow it to cool for a bit and then transfer to a bottle or
jar and pop in the fridge until chilled.

CONSISTENCY

Please keep in mind that this is homemade Chocolate Syrup -- not fudge sauce. So
while it will set up a bit more once chilled, it is never going to turn overly
thick or gloppy.

YIELD AND STORAGE

This recipe makes about a pint.

And it should keep in the refrigerator for three to four weeks...if it lasts
that long!

WAYS TO ENJOY IT

While there are traditional ways to enjoy this recipe, there are some additional
creative ideas that are equally delicious!

* Pour over ice cream.
* Drizzle over brownies or cookies.
* Stir into milk to make chocolate milk.
* Use as a fruit dip for strawberries or bananas.
* Use as a (non-fruit) dip for pretzels.
* Blend into milkshakes.
* Enjoy as a decadent syrup for pancakes or waffles.

Of course, my preferred application is perhaps sneaking it straight out of the
jar with a spoon... 🙂

So the next time you're craving some yummy Chocolate Syrup for your favorite way
to indulge, I hope you'll remember this recipe and give it a try! This is one of
those EUREKA-type recipes that makes me wonder why I didn't try it sooner.

It's a cinch to make, it's all-natural, it's economical, and it's delicious.

You can whip it up in mere minutes with ingredients that you most likely already
have on hand.

I'm telling you, friends...your family will deem you brilliant. 😉

NOTES

* This syrup will thicken as it cools and should have the consistency of
store-bought chocolate syrup once chilled. It is not supposed to get thick
like a fudge sauce.

to four weeks.

Thank you sooo much for this recipe! I've been trying to get away from
chocolate syrup with corn syrup. This one tastes better than anything I
have found in the stores! I will be using it from now on!!

I just made this chocolat syrup yesterday and it has had time to completely
cool down. It is very close to Hershey's syrup in thickness. I cooked it
about 3 more minutes as I wanted it a bit thicker. That worked. I used raw
evaporated organic sugar and Ghirardelli premium unsweetened cocoa with
Watkins vanilla. For flavor, I give it a five. It is rich, sweet and full
bodied. The latter may be due to the small amount in of molasses in raw
evaporated sugar. It does not however, have even a hint of molasses flavor.
The only reason I gave it a 4 star review is due to the graininess from the
cocoa. Before completing the cooking after tasting the graininess, I added
about a teaspoon of butter. I do not know if that helped as it did not seem
to taste different. I will be making this again and next time I will add
2-3 teaspoons of butter and pay more attention to the graininess of the
cocoa. I will post what I find and how the added extra butter changes the
outcome. I hope this helps as I really did like the flavor and would
recommend this recipe. It is very easy to make and smooth and tasty in
whole milk and on vanilla ice cream.

I use only Hershey cocoa and have great taste and no grainy texture. Only
syrup we use in the house!

I'm definitely looking forward to making this! It sounds wonderful,
but.....I gotta be a downer and ask if anyone knows what sugar-sub might
work well in this mix?

* Samantha Skaggs

I'm sorry, Michael...I haven't made this recipe using a sugar substitute,
but hopefully somebody who has will chime in! 🙂

* Sheryl

I looked at other recipes that were almost exactly like this one with
just 5 ingredients, and some of the comments said they used the same
measure of the sugar substitute as the amount of sugar in the recipe. I
think it was splenda, but you can search and figure it out for sure. I
searched "best reviewed chocolate syrup recipes," when I saw those
reviews.

Hi,
Will this be good for making the syrup brownies replacing the Hershey’s
syrup?
Thanks

* Samantha Skaggs

June 27, 2020 at 7:49 am

Hi Sonia! I haven't tried it myself, but as long as you get your homemade
chocolate syrup to a consistency that's similar to Hershey's, I don't see
why it wouldn't work. Good luck! 🙂

I've been making my own chocolate syrup for years, one less thing I have to
buy!

Isn't it great, Melissa? It's so nice to know you don't have to worry
about running out, since the ingredients are so basic that you're likely
to always have them on hand! 🙂

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I love quick and easy recipes! My sons love
this for their ice cream!

Really loved this recipe! The only thing I did to make it a little better
was add a couple handfuls of chocolate chips, both milk chocolate and
semi-sweet which made it taste even better. But the original recipe was
very good. I always add my own little extra something to every recipe I
try.

Just love this really simple, straight-forward recipe with no yucky
additives! My oh my - I can dream up so many great uses for this
scrumptious chocolate sauce! Yum! 😀

in lots of different ways. 😉

You and your 5 minute 5 ingredients!!! Loved your caramel and loved this as
well! Too fun to make my own from scratch!

I was so excited to make this! I have stopped buying chocolate syrup
because of the corn syrup. As I was scanning down, I was thinking, "please
don't have it as an ingredient!"

* Sheryl

I do the same thing with high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. When I
eat it, my pain levels go up a lot. But, there are a lot of products that
sneak it in regardless of how consumers feel. I find it in bread a lot.

Is it that much cheaper for companies to use? Why can't manufacturers
that use it make a NON corn syrup alternative? I guess I will be making
this from now on. I use less than I would with store bought too, so that
is a plus.

My hubby is like, addicted to chocolate syrup - I've seen him on countless
occasions standing at the fridge, pouring some right into his mouth!
(Please don't tell him I told you! 😉 ) This is such a great idea - he
loved it!

My husband is constantly wanting sweet snacks! This seems perfect if I just
whip up a batch and tell him to make chocolate milk!

17. Kristin

This is a must try in our house! We are big chocolate fans, and I love the
idea of making this with no additives. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe.
