Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 cup pure cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation:

Heat the sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat without stirring, until it begins to melt. Once it begins to melt, stir frequently until completely melted and carmelized.

Reduce heat to medium low and add the water to create a carmel, still stirring frequently.

Next, stir in the cocoa powder and salt until completely smooth and dissolved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Add the vanilla, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
