This morning my daughter asked for chocolate milk and since the chocolate syrup bottle was empty, I decided to try making my own Chocolate Syrup.
I found a Chocolate Syrup recipe in the Dining On A Dime Cookbook. It required only 5 ingredients and was super easy to mix up. My house smelled like Hershey Chocolate world while the mixture was cooking.
