Notes
Recipe adapted from Zero Waste Chef.
For sweeter syrup, use 3 cups granulated sugar.
Keep an eye on the saucepan when bringing the mixture to a boil to avoid boil over!
Substitute sugar with monkfruit sugar to savor the rich chocolatey goodness without the sugar rush.
Use a combination of brown and granulated sugar for a richer molasses flavor.
