"You know that chocolate syrup they squirt in the cup at the local coffee shop when you order a mocha? Then when you try to make one at home, the chocolate syrup from a brown squeeze bottle just doesn't cut it? WELL - this is your lucky day...You just found the closest thing to *bucks mocha syrup you can make - at a FRACTION of the cost of using their mocha powder. I know it sounds simple, but it took about 3 months to get it as spot on as possible. Be it known that I used Hershey's Cocoa and Dutch cocoa when making this...(I own no stock...) I usually add a cup of Torani's Vanilla Syrup to this recipe - OR a cup of liquid French Vanilla Coffee Creamer - because I like Vanilla Mochas, and that does the trick for me."

- Add the imitation vanilla; Mix thoroughly.
- Let mixture cool, and transfer into some pourable/squeezable container (old ketchup bottle, old creamer container, etc--).
- Use 2- 3 Tbsp Mocha Mix for a large cup O' mocha- Enjoy!
- Makes approximately 32 oz.

You mentioned adding a cup of Torani vanilla syrup. Is that in addition to the sugar and imitation vanilla in the mocha sauce recipe? Or to the coffee when you are preparing it?

I made this twice and was watery the first time. I made it again with only 2.5 cups of water and was still watery. It tasted great just want it thicker. Do you have any suggestions?

Best way to store the syrup? Covered container (glass?) in the refrigerator? How long will it stay good? Maybe now I can stop spending a fortune on commercial mochas! Thanks!

I will try this recipe! After making this recipe, how do you make Coffee Mocha? Do you use Espresso? Or regular coffee? Milk? I, too, have never been able to replicate Coffee Mochas I get at coffee shops. Thank you

Since I'd never heard of Dutch-Processed cocoa powder, I read up a bit on it and found that by adding baking soda, I could substitute it. I don't know if I achieved the same final result but it is delicious. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

YUM! I am not using stars, as I made significant changes (Splenda), but I do think this is a 5 star recipe. So chocolatey! And, I much prefer this recipe to another recipe I tried involving cooking the ingredients together for a few minutes; this one has a cleaner chocolate taste.SO... I subbed equivalent Splenda, and used much less vanilla (wimpy me!) I actually found my concoction extremely chocolatey and not quite sweet enough, so I add more sweetner to my cup. Love this stuff! (I was prompted to seek this recipe because *bucks stopped carrying their sf chocolate/mocha syrup.)

Did anyone use the full amount of Vanilla? 1/2 cup sounds like A LOT

Finished product was extremely watery...not thick enough to be called syrup.

Just made this. Mine is not thick like you'd expect of a syrup. Does it thicken while it cools? I followed the recipe almost exactly. I didn't have imitation vanilla so I used a splash of the good stuff. I don't think that should affect consistency. Tastes good though. Do you store it in the fridge?

Hello!<table align=right bgcolor=#ffa573 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 margin=200 width=306><tr><td><table bgcolor=white cellpadding=2><tr><td><img src=http://www.mikeandkathy.com/wordpress/wp-gallery/2007-08kids/slides/P8220016.jpg width=300></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>I am the husband to my wife and father to my boy and girl, singer, songwriter, and enjoy cooking as a hobby (and even a stress release). Although I'm not formally trained, I can do more than boil water. Going out to eat becomes less and less pleasurable, the more I learn...I find myself thinking, "I can make this...And it won't cost $18.95!" SO - I learn to make it through trial and error, and maybe get some help from the folks at 'zaar! :) My wife and I make our own pizza, our own espresso drinks, and bake our own bread, thanks to recipezaar! I love this site - there's so many new things I'd like to try!
