Homemade chocolate syrup

Homemade chocolate syrup is so worth making yourself.  Enjoy!

 

5 squares (5 oz.) baking chocolate

Melt chocolate over hot water; add boiling water and cook over direct low hear, stirring constantly until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.  Add sugar, corn syrup and salt, and then cook briskly for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Cool to room temperature.  Pour into clean glass jar and store in the refrigerator.

To use this syrup as flavoring for hot chocolate or cold chocolate milk, allow about 1 tablespoon to a cup of milk.  If used as a sauce on ice cream,Or drizzle over pound cake... stir in 1/4 cup butter while sauce is hot.
