ATTENTION CHOCO-HOLICS

HOW TO MAKE
BLACK BEAR SYRUP
 a REAL CHOCOLATE SYRUP
(not that "chocolate flavored" stuff)
Real chocolate syrup, no artificial ingredients or high-fructose corn syrup.

Here's a Quick, Simple and YUMMY recipe right from the kitchen of our Lodge.
Place 1 cup of unsweetened baking cocoa and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a saucepan. Stir it up to mix. Add 1 cup cold water. Bring mixture to a slow simmer (you know, when it just starts kind of boiling). Turn the heat down and continue to simmer for 3 minutes. Be sure you are gently stirring during this time. After 3 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.  Allow the mixture to cool, then pour it into a squeeze bottle, or jar.  (The syrup thickens as it cools.) Makes aprox 2 cups of delicious, REAL CHOCOLATE Syrup, perfect for topping ice cream or stirring into milk, drizzling over pancakes and waffles and, and, well, perfect for anything that you want to use it with!
