Homemade Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

Homemade Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup Recipe 

Makes about 16 ounces (2 cups)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1 1/4 cups water

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dash salt

Directions:

Use a big saucepan – at least 2 quarts. This will expand when boiling, and overflows will make a big mess on your stove top! I use a 3-quart saucepan.

Combine the cocoa powder, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix with a whisk until smooth.

Stir constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon until it boils.

Allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes.

Remove from heat.

Add vanilla.

Syrup will be very thin/watery. Allow to cool completely and it will thicken to about the same consistency as Hershey’s syrup.

Store the syrup in a mason jar or any other container. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge. If you want to be really sneaky, pour the cooled syrup into an empty or almost-empty Hershey’s syrup container and see if anyone notices the difference!

MAID RITE Sandwiches Copycat

1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon low sodium beef base (or a bouillon cube)
1 teaspoon low sodium chicken base (or a bouillon cube)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar (white sugar can be used if brown isn't available)
2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 pounds lean ground beef, uncooked
8 hamburger buns
Original toppings:  dill pickle chips, onions, mustard

(in the Maid-Rite Diner's they do not even have ketchup there, they are usually topped with only mustard and dill pickle chips)

DIRECTIONS

Set slow cooker to high.  Add all ingredients (except beef).  Stir to combine. Brown the beef and drain fat, add beef and stir until all combined and beef is completely coated.

Use a potato masher to mash beef with juice every 45 mins. or so to get it to a fine texture.

Cover and cook for 1 hour.  Stir occasionally to break up ground beef.  Uncover after 1 hour of cook time.  Continue cooking on high for 2 ½ - 3 hours (with cover removed), until most of the liquid has cooked off.  Continue to stir occasionally and break up any chunks of beef.

Using a slotted spoon, serve a heaping spoonful on a warm bun and

load it up with your favorite toppings.

MSG stands for Monosodium Glutamate. It is a spice, found in your grocery store. It can be sold as MSG or under the brand name “Accent”. Some people are extremely allergic to MSG, over 98% of the population is not. It serves to make flavors stronger, and almost pop right out at you.
Fines herbs used to be used more frequently many years ago. Fines herbs was a poultry seasoning. Since so many people have difficultly in obtaining the herb, it has been removed from the recipe. If you can access Fines herbs add 2 teaspoons to the flour mixture.


    ***NOTE
Fines Herbs  refers to a blend of herbs traditionally used in French cooking. While there is no exact recipe for fines herbes, it usually includes parsley, tarragon, chives and chervil. Marjoram is occasionally included in fines herbes as well.
