Awesomesauce (aka Chocolate Syrup)

Makes: 5 cups

Time: 15 minutes, plus cooling time

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water

3 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups cocoa powder

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp kosher salt

2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Directions

In a small pot, bring water and sugar to a boil and whisk in cocoa, vanilla, salt, and corn syrup. Whisk until all of the solids have dissolved. Reduce until slightly thickened (do not overcook or you'll end up with chocolate fudge instead of sauce!). Strain and cool to room temperature. Pour into a squeeze bottle or a jar.
