You only need a few ingredients to make this Simple Chocolate Sauce and it tastes better than any chocolate syrup you can buy at the store.  Bonus – it keeps for weeks.

Ingredients:

• 1 c unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 c sugar
• 1 c cold water
• pinch salt
• 2 Tab vanilla

Directions:

1. Mix cocoa powder and sugar in a saucepan
2. Add water.
3. Add pinch of salt.
4. Cook over medium heat 3 – 4 minutes.
5. Cool a bit.
6. Add vanilla.

Notes:
The chocolate sauce will be very thin when it finishes boiling, but it will thicken quite a bit as it cools.

Serves:  Makes 14oz of chocolate sauce and can easily be doubled if desired.
