Chocolate syrup is a favorite on ice cream, fruits and cakes and even in milk. You may not always have a pre-made container in the refrigerator waiting for you when the craving strikes, but you can make your own out of ingredients you likely have on hand. In just a few minutes, and in just a few steps, you can create a warm homemade version of chocolate sauce that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
