Here’s the recipe. It’s awesome — much better than the crappy flat-tasting Hershey’s.

1 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1½ cups water
3 cubes butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything but the vanilla in a large pan and stir to wet the dry ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat till butter and sugar are melted and liquid is homogenous. Lower heat to a high simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes. Should be at a low boil. Stir every couple minutes with heat-resistant spatula and make sure nothing’s cooking onto the bottom of the pan. You’ll have to learn to recognize the texture that indicates it’s done cooking to the consistency you like (longer cooking makes thicker fudgier sauce), but 12-15 minutes should at least get you in the ballpark. When done, add vanilla, stir in thoroughly, cook for another 30 seconds or so, and you’re done. Makes about 1 quart.

Thank you, sounds great and I will try it.

Now, if I could just figure out how to make my own high fat butter milk. I love the stuff but all they have in the store is the low fat.
