Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Chocolate Syrup Variation from The Barefoot Contessa

This is very similar to the Better Than Hershey's recipe but it has a higher proportion of chocolate (always a good thing) and the little bit of instant coffee makes it taste even more chocolate-y and gives it almost a bittersweet taste. I found it a little thinner than I like while still warm but it seems to have thickened somewhat after chilling overnight.

I store it in a glass jar in the fridge.
