Homemade Chocolate Syrup

This one is soooooo good. It tastes just like Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. I got this recipe from Hillbilly Housewife.

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 cup tap water

2 cups sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Find a 2 quart saucepan. In it, mix the cocoa and water with a wire whisk or fork. Heat the chocolate water over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar and continue to stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and boil for a full 3 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat.

Blender Mayonnaise

1 c veggie oil
1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
1 tsp prepared mustard (I used dry powdered mustard)
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg or 2 egg yolks

In a blender, combine egg or egg yolks, mustard, salt, vinegar/lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of the oil. Blend for 30 seconds. With blender still running, slowly drizzle (this is the crucial step) remaining oil into mixture until all the oil is used and mixture is thick. Taste and adjust seasoning. Makes 1 cup.

I purposely ran out of Mayonnaise and needed some, so I made my own... I can't remember where I got this recipe from, but it sure is yummy.
