A few weeks ago I told you all about a homemade chocolate syrup recipe on my File it Friday post. Last weekend I finally got around to making it as my boys had been asking for chocolate milk. It was very simple to make! I thought this would make a great gift too! Find an interesting bottle and make it just before gift giving time.

Does it have to be refrigerated? Or only after opening?
Hi Judy,
Yes the homemade chocolate syrup needs to be refrigerated! Good luck!
