Chocolate Syrup Goodness

We have a rule at our house that if you want treats that aren't the best for you they have to be made from scratch. It cuts down on the amount we indulge in and I am positive the the calories you exert cooking from scratch are equal to the amount you consume with these treats.


This recipe is so easy and and always well received. You will never buy chocolate syrup again once you see how easy it is to make and how much better it tastes.
