Out of chocolate syrup...

When you're out of homemade, HFCS-free homemade chocolate syrup, but you need a fix for your ice cream....

one spoon of sugar...

one spoon of powdered cocoa...

and a few drops of vanilla...

Add the ice cream.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM................................

;)

(notice the lack of photo of the ice cream! It's GONE!)
