Happy Wednesday! Although Emily and I killed & buried Pin for the Wednesdays a couple weeks ago, my friend Tess of Daily Ups & Pounds, a loyal Pin for the Winner (and my PERSONAL FRIEND), decided to resurrect it. YAY! SO if you were a #PinFTW fan, you can head on over to her blog every Wednesday to see what people are pinning and winning with! Sometimes (like today, for instance) Emily and I will be playing along, too!
Today I offer up to you one of the first pins I EVER pinned, months and months ago but never actually tried until last week. And it. Was. WORTH THE WAIT! It was fantastic! Here is the original pin:
I am a chocolate milk addict. I have a glass of milk made with Hershey’s every morning before my coffee. My big kids do the same (no coffee for them) so we go through syrup pretty fast. The other night we were out and instead of running to the store really late, I decided to finally try this pin. It was awesome! SO easy and fast: the recipe calls for only baking cocoa, white sugar, salt, and water. And it tasted amazing! I only had Nestle cocoa, and it was really good, but last night I bought Hershey’s cocoa to see how close I can get it to the original. Now we can have home made chocolate syrup in our milk that’s slightly more healthy than the store bought kind! And, I imagine, much less expensive!
All right, that’s my winning pin! Can’t wait to see yours! Head over to Daily Ups & Pounds to link up!
Love it! I keep wanting to try that.
If you want to just go doggone crazy and poorganic, here is the recipe that I have been using lately that calls for maple syrup instead of sugar. (Because sugar is refined and therefore evil, or so the uborganics tell me.) My kids and hubby LOVE it and, just in case you’re worried, it doesn’t taste mapley. 🙂 http://deliciouslyorganic.net/chocolate-sauce-syrup-hersheys-recipe/
PSHAW. Me go poorganic. You funny girl. I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m pretty sure poorganic doesn’t mean what you think it means. In fact, I invented the word, so I’m positive. (Unless you think it means “awesome way to assuage guilt for all the times you let your kids eat frosting for dinner.” Then you’re right. ;))
