Hello! Hope you are doing well and hanging in there! It's almost MAY
- can you believe it??
WOW! As a school teacher... May is the long, haul stretch where you run as fast as you can - before the race is all over! So, I'm racing... whew!
Summer is coming!
Here is a quick recipe swap for you! It's homemade chocolate syrup! Once you taste this... Hershey's won't do! (maybe)
I don’t know about you, but we go through a LOT of chocolate syrup at our house. My boys LOVE chocolate milk - in the morning, afternoon, night time... anytime for
chocolate milk. Found the recipe here

chocolate milk. Found the recipe here
- at this link.
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a small saucepan, add sugar, cocoa, and salt. Whisk together gently. Add water. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool. Store in the refrigerator.
For chocolate milk, add 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup to 8 oz. of milk. Heat for hot chocolate.
Let me know if you try this... I've had to double the recipe that I make for the boys - but it's A LOT cheaper than buying the store brand. I reused the "Hershey's" bottle and refilled with the new recipe above - the boys definitely tasted a difference, but liked it better. I was thrilled! Score one for the mom!
Thanks for stopping by! We are heading to District 4-H Round Up this week - boys have really been practicing their piano. Alex is also competing in a team for Consumer Decision Making - 1st year. Remember to hug the ones you love the most, until next time...
