I am a frugal mom living in upstate NY with my 4 kids and 5 cats. :)

Chocolate Syrup homemade, tastes better, is cheaper, and is wicked easy. I started making this so I could make my own frappes, the copycat recipes for that M fast food place use a ton of chocolate syrup. I've found I don't need as much sugar, and it's really tasty with dark cocoa powder.
