These fudge pops do not taste like the ones I had as a child; they taste the
way I wish they had tasted – pure unadulterated intensely chocolate and not too
sweet.
(Makes six 4-ounce ice
pops)
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1.) Stir the water, sugar, cocoa powder, corn
syrup, and salt in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is
completely dissolved and the mixture is barely simmering.
2.) Off the heat, stir in the milk and vanilla. Cool the mixture in the
refrigerator or float the saucepan in a larger pan of ice water for a
quick-chill.
3.) Transfer the mixture to chilled ice pop molds, secure the lids and freeze
until set, about 4 hours.
