How to Make Chocolate Sauce Throw Away Your Hershey's

  1. In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup water until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
  5. Immediately remove from heat. Pour the hot mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof 4-cup measuring cup or pitcher to remove any lumps.
  6. Let cool slightly on the counter.
  7. Once the sauce has cooled to room temperature (about 30 minutes), stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  8. Transfer the chocolate sauce to an airtight container with a capacity of 2 ½ cups. Refrigerate until ready to use.
