There are certain times when we all need a little chocolate in our lives. Times of joy, times of heartbreak, times of the month, times when you want to have a sexy little 9 1/2 Weeks moment with someone…
I mean, technically I think they actually used honey in that scene, but Valentine’s Day is coming up right around the corner. So chocolate would be way more appropriate, right? In any case, whatever your chocolate needs happen to be I have the perfect recipe for an all natural chocolate syrup. It takes less than five minutes to prepare and is way better for you than the artificial store bought alternatives that are likely loaded with preservatives.
I found a similar recipe on Live Simply that I adapted and can’t wait to drizzle it on top of and mix it into ALL the things. Just whisk up a few ingredients in a saucepan and you’re good to go! You’ve got a delicious, all natural chocolate syrup on hand for ice cream, berries, chocolate milk, coffee drinks and whatever else you fancy putting chocolate on!
