Cocoa Syrup {or Homemade Chocolate Syrup}

Affiliate Disclosure

cocoa syrup 1

I love chocolate syrup. It’s smooth, it’s sweet, and it’s oh-so-tasty. But commercial chocolate syrups typically aren’t very good for you. They’re packed full of preservatives, weird ingredients, and the dreaded GMO-infected corn syrup. Which is why it’s so amazing that chocolate syrup–or cocoa syrup as I like to call it–is so easy to make yourself!

Cocoa Syrup

This smooth, chocolately liquid gold is not only easy to make, but it also consists of ingredients that are common in most home kitchens (especially real food ones)! One of the key ingredients is maple syrup. To make this healthful, be sure to purchase REAL maple syrup (you should be able to tell by reading the ingredients label, plus it should say what grade it is such as A or B).

Please also keep in mind that just because maple syrup is a natural sweetener does not mean that you can have as much of it as you want. Maple syrup does still affect blood sugar levels, so keep that in mind and don’t over-indulge.

Now, on to the uber easy recipe! Enjoy!
