Questions & Replies

  1. Can this recipe be used in baking recipes as a substitute for the metal cans of Hershey's chocolate syrup? I can't find the cans in a local store, and I really need it for one of my traditional holiday recipes.

  1. If it's any help to anyone, I've found that if you simmer this syrup for about 10 minutes, stirring all the time, it does thicken up and there's no need to add any thickener to it. It keeps better without cornstarch.
     
  2. Finished off my store-bought syrup yesterday and needed a cup of hot chocolate this afternoon. This turned out great. I let it boil a little longer (about 3 minutes) constantly stirring it. It turned out a good consistency. And it made a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Won't be buying syrup again. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. I love this syrup!! It's easy to make and you can thicken the consistency by adjusting the water content. I don't mind it's thinner, since I usually put the syrup in drinks. Tastes yummy!!
     
  4. Thanks for a great recipe! I used a different brand of cocoa powder and it still tastes great. After reading reviews stating that the syrup was too thin I reduced the water to 3/4 of a cup. The syrup came out a bit thicker than Hershey's when cooled... perfect as an ice cream topping or a dip for fruit.. .and still easy to use for chocolate milk. Thanks again!
     
  5. Tried this today -- excellent! I let the mixture boil for more than 1 minute as I wanted a thicker final product. On a lower flame under a careful eye, it was perfect! I added under 1 tsp. of instant coffee granules for a little kick.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in West Texas with my new husband, Mark, and our FIVE kids! When we met he already had 3 children from his first marriage and I had a son of my own. In January of 2005 we welcomed into the world our new baby into our family. With five children, we felt it was best that I give up my career to stay at home with them, as they are our top priority. <br> <br>For fun, Mark and I like to travel. We've been to many beautiful places, our favorite being Bermuda. We definitly plan to return someday. We've also been to the Virgin Islands, Puerta Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Aruba. None of them really compare to Bermuda, though! <br> <br>I don't really have a favorite cookbook; I prefer stumbling upon recipees from friends & family, magazines, or the backs of product boxes. <br> <br>If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would probably lay on a towel at the beach with a good book in my hand.
