Delicious !! 500 Stars !! :D A lovely chocolate syrup on ice cream and that kick of heat really made it extra special. I used cane sugar in place of granulated. Thanks for the recipe, Nif! Will be keeping this on hand at all times and so easy to make! Made during ZWT#9 for my team, Tasty Testers :)

Made for ZWT-9, this recipe has captured the attention of the Goddesses & I'm following in the footsteps of my teammates Jostlori & evelyn/athens. I made a full recipe as written & used it to make Recipe #232918, #232918 by momaphet. It worked perfectly & I've decided to call the combo "The Dynamic Duo". Thx for sharing this easy-fix & tasty recipe w/us. :-)

This is delicious and easy to make with things I always have on hand. I was unsure about the cayenne, but it is really good! Made for ZWT9

The cayenne gives this chocolate syrup a lovely kick. Cut the recipe down and made using dark cocoa powder because that is what I had on hand. Very close to one I make all the time, thanks for the post.

Jostlori recommended this recipe to me and I'm glad I tried it out as it's very easy to make, good and just a 'tad' different. I made a half batch. The residual heat left by the cayenne is a very nice addition to the chocolate sauce.
