Chocolate Syrup

Chocolate Syrup 

I have been making chocolate syrup for many years now but somehow never got down to blogging it. 

But when I was chosen by plattershare to review Kalya brand of cocoa and share some recipes using the same, I finally got down to blog it. This, a very easy  recipe, gives you yummy chocolate syrup in minutes with no preservatives. Once you try this, you will never use store bought ones. Use very good quality cocoa coz the taste of your sauce depends on it . Today I have used Kayla. Earlier I have always made it using Hintz. Go ahead and try it out .
