Groceries are extremely expensive here, even when they finally go on sale so I was out of chocolate syrup (not the no name, but a good brand name). I think the price is around $6.00 for one of those bottles! I had just made vanilla ice cream recently and remembered you did a chocolate syrup. I actually watched 3 other versions on other channels and yours seemed the most likely to be how I liked it. I did change it by thickening it up slightly with the smallest amount of a corn starch/water slurry (less than 1 tblsp of runny liquid) just in case yours was too thin for my liking. Made your version with the slight addition. It thickened up so much that it worked for ice cream but really did not pour well into milk and stuck to the spoon. The taste IS better than a brand name store bought, but next time I will make it exactly as you show us. I bet it will thicken perfectly once it cools in the fridge. It is SO good, I'll never go back to buying it again. Next I'll do the caramel coffee syrup. You really are a jewel!
Always use the cold water when adding to food stuffs. Hot water tanks become “contaminated” think mineral deposits, over time as they don’t reach boiling temperatures…hopefully!
I gave up on the 'all the time' hot water heaters. I have a propane on-demand one and love it. Yes, that hot water tank deposit yukky stuff is gross. Now, have I had to change the tank in the rain? And snow? Has it run out while I'm in the shower? (only once, I'm careful about that.) Yes, but I still like the savings in my electric bill.
Great idea. TFS your recipe. Don’t apologize for your side-chat, it’s part of the charm of your channel. BTW… I really NEED one of the aprons you’re wearing! What’s your source please? All mine are around the neck straps. Ugg!
Thank you for the kind comment! The tan one in this video is from William Sonoma. Many I made and a few are from Amazon. If there is a specific one let me know. I hope to sew some more and get them on my Etsy page but I wanted to make sure they were going to hold up to a beating before I posted them.
I truly appreciate you. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was simple to make. The quality of the chocolate used will definitely affect the taste. I had a high quality chocolate on hand and the syrup tastes very rich and yummy. PS - the recipe strikes me as a version of your corn syrup recipe but with chocolate powder added 🙂
I guess they are similar. We use a ton of this stuff. I think I. Make it like every 10 days. I just got some dark chocolate from an Amish grocery I’m excited to try in it.
I should try this recipe for sure. When my kids were younger we would by the 6 pound jug of Hershey’s Syrup from Costco. When my son was a baby (now 28) he had to take liquid meds. We added to his bottle. Once he stopped the meds he refused the bottle (formula) until we “flavored” it.
Can't wait to try it out! Just about to move to a new place with a regular sized refrigerator / freezer 🤩 (had to camp out for a bit with a small version). Looking forward to not having to buy this, getting way too expensive, and I'm a milkshake, chocolate ice cream loving person. PS - I love your apron 🥰Thanks for sharing with me, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hey! Welcome. We do! I posted a recipe last week for my grandmas ice milk cream which is yummy but super hard to scoop. I’ll be posting a creamy ice cream next week.
LOL - This reminds me of a co-worker I had years ago. So, on our afternoon school bus routes, most of us had a half-hour downtime. A common spot to stop with a big parking lot, and a bathroom, was the grocery store near the high school. I'd often pick up a little something for home if it was on sale, and it would fit behind my seat. So, I'm buying Hershey syrup one day, and this co-worker started grilling me, "Why don't you just buy Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix?" My reply, "Because I make hot chocolate with milk and cocoa and sugar. I like syrup because I can put it on ice cream, make chocolate milk, milkshakes, AND hot chocolate if I want to." Then he proceeded to belabor the point, until finally I said, "What are you? My husband?" I walked away, kind of laughing, and wondering if he bossed his wife around that much. Seriously, I barely knew the man. I was 60, and pretty sure I knew how to run my own life, LOL! I'm loving how to make this myself though. And, when my friend drives his tour bus to Hershey for end of the year field trips, he calls me from the store! Yum!
Speaking of saving money, and animals, I never buy horse treats or dog treats. I get a large jug of animal crackers at BJ's (we don't have a Costco). They aren't too sweet. I eat them if I'm in the barn and get hungry. Horses and dogs love them. I taught all my horses to come when called using these little crackers. Why aren't they called cookies? I also use stale cereal like mini wheats, Cherrios, graham crackers. Manufacturers know that putting 'horse' on the label = expensive. Most horse owners aren't rich!
Wow, you don't look anywhere near old enough to have a 26 year old. Before you mentioned your age in a recent video, I was picturing your kids being 8-10.
Lololol. I would have loved to have seen the goats. I’ve never seen a real cow. None of those in the Bronx. I won’t tell your kids about the chocolate syrup.
My dumb ex husband ( hole different story) but was always irritated when we drove by the smell of animal poo. Me being a farm, when asked could identify which farm animal it came from. My question was always why do you ask when you know I will tell you?!? Liking your channel, keep up the hard work

Unless you have "on demand" hot water supply.

That looked easy enough that even I could make it. Love your goat story 🩷
You can do it!
You should develop a recipe book of all your recipes. Food, body care and every thing you make.
Maybe down the road we will. We may also do a blog when I free time.
OOHH I want to add just a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to make a Mexican chocolate syrup!!
Love the goat story! 😂
And the recipe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do you know how to do a strawberry syrup?
I have tried to figure it out but since I’ve been trying real strawberry it was too clumpy for our liking. I’m still working on it. 😁
Great idea. TFS your recipe. Don’t apologize for your side-chat, it’s part of the charm of your channel. BTW… I really NEED one of the aprons you’re wearing! What’s your source please? All mine are around the neck straps. Ugg!

Yay! Thank you!

Oh my gosh you just saved my life!!!!!
I'm going to the kitchen to make this right now.
Thank you.
Thank you for the chocolate syrup do you make hot fudge
We do have a hot fudge recipe around here somewhere and a Guinness chocolate syrup.
Can't wait to try it out! Just about to move to a new place with a regular sized refrigerator / freezer 🤩 (had to camp out for a bit with a small version).

Can’t wait to hear if you like it!
Making tarter sauce
Thank you for sharing.
Can you water bath or pressure can the chocolate syrup to store for future use?
I’m sure you can but we eat it too fast to try it. There isn’t dairy so I bet you can.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Thanks. I'll have to give it a try.
another recipe to add to my list to try !! Love it !!
It's so good!
Amazing! Have you tried canning this? If not, can you think of a reason that I shouldn’t?
We have! We water bath canned half pints for 15 minutes and it’s perfect.
@ beautiful!
Hi mom love u ♥️
Jackie!!!!! ❤️
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Ooopps .... and now they do know ....... LOL!
Love your channel
I put that s(tuff) on everything. 😁
Ha ha, ironically I made a huge batch today and canned it!
Just seeing this in August 2024 . Do you make your ice cream ?

I went to the store as a kid and I can still smell it in my mind. What a poop he sounds like 😂

We use to give them to our goats as treats as well. They would go nuts!

Quit apologizing, I and many others enjoy your rants
Thank you! I’ll try to stop 🤣apologizing, not the rants
