Easy Frugal Homemade Chocolate Sauce Recipe

Our household is quite divided when it comes to chocolate. We have 2 that absolutely love it, one that is indifferent, one that is allergic, and one that absolutely hates it.

So in other words, we usually always have some form of chocolate or carob on hand to settle any cravings and to keep everyone from a dispute.

One of my children loves chocolate and would eat it all day every day if I let him. He’s always asked me for chocolate to pour over things from the store, but it usually doesn’t fit into my budget, and I always find it hard to justify a purchase for only one person of the household unless it’s really necessary.

But then I thought…of course, just like anything else, a homemade chocolate syrup can be made with simple, frugal pantry staples!

I hope this is the perfect recipe for the chocolate lover in your house.
