Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups water
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 pinches salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly and break up any lumps.
Add the water to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chips have melted and the syrup is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract, stirring thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean, airtight container or bottle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using as the syrup may thicken over time.
