Alton Brown's Cocoa Syrup
"Who needs store bought syrup anymore. This tastes much better! I have made it many times. Use it for ice cream, chocolate milk, on top of brownies, or chug straight from the bottle...no, I would never do that. ;) This recipe came from the Food Network website where it rates a solid five stars."

We had sundaes last night and my kids and I made this recipe. Very good. VERY GOOD. I felt like I had order a sundae from a fancy ice cream parlor. LOL. Seriously, I was a big hit with my kids. I was suggested by Molidol that using a higher quality cocoa powder will increase the flavor; I agree. Thanks Molidol! Hershey's ain't got nothin' on you girl! -
Definitely 5* taste here Molidol! My only suggestion is to use a large sauce pan as I started with the smaller size and it almost boiled over. I quickly grabbed the next size up, dumped it in that pan and continued on my way. Excellent, thanks for sharing. Made for Fall PAC 2011. -
LOVE this syrup! Extremely easy to make. I made 1/3 recipe following someone else’s suggestion in using agave rather than corn syrup and added 12g/.4 oz of 72% chocolate. I didn’t strain the syrup and it’s perfect satin after chilling. It probably doesn’t need the additional chocolate. Definite keeper recipe. -
easy recipe, great results! Don't over reduce it like I did. It does thicken as it cools. I added 1 square of valerona 70% cocoa bar to the recipe for a extra chocolate kick and it worked well. BigDan

It's hard to find store-bought chocolate syrup without artificial ingredients, so I really like this recipe. I've made it several times and it's always good. We avoid corn syrup, but the recipe works just fine with honey.
