Sugar: For a sweeter taste, use powdered sugar instead. Cocoa powder: This will be what gives it that richs, chocolate flavor. Whole milk: I like to use whole milk because its not too thick (like heavy cream) but is creamier than regular milk. Salt: This will enhance all of the other flavors. Vanilla: Vanilla is such a subtle sweetness to this sauce.Flour: This can be used if you want your syrup a bit thicker.
