By tulawdog

Ingredients

• *
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• *
• 1 c. dark brown sugar
• *
• 1/4 t. (a pinch) Kosher salt
• *
• 1 c. cocoa powder (Organic Dutch process)
• *
• 1 c. water
• *
• 1 T. vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine sugars, salt and cocoa and whisk to combine. Add water, and heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly (to avoid boiling over). Boil several minutes, until the mixture thickens - and remember that it will thicken more as it cools. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and store in glass jars. Makes 2 8 oz. jars, with just enough left over to take you through a day of experimenting with the ultimate "Art of Darkness".
