Aunt Flo is in town, train your Hero before it's too late.

Once a month the uterus becomes alive and angry, making a desperate attempt at turning itself inside out and escaping by pushing its way through the abdomen. The monster within takes over our otherwise good natured selves, potentially turning us into a raging hormonal beast (or just weepy piles of what was once 'woman').
That is, of course, until the cure is presented to the battleground. The cure comes in the shape of warm, drizzly, heart warming, monster-battling, hormone-reducing homemade chocolate syrup. Oh yes. You read that right. Homemade. You may think, "Why make it? It's $3 at the grocery store and I'm lazy." Homemade because it's not only better, but much easier than you'd think. Plus, you're not necessarily making it! The true test of his dedication is how well he can make this for you! Bonus points if you don't have to ask....
This recipe is so darn simple even the most prehistoric caveman can master it and become the hero of every uterus-possessed girl who has caught his eye (but most importantly, your hero).

The sauce can be assembled in a matter of minutes and served over ice cream, hot cake, mixed into milk, eaten from a very large spoon (or a bowl if that's your style), or drizzled over your lover.

Ingredients


1 ⅔ C  Unsweetened cocoa powder (DON'T skimp on quality here!*)
1 ⅔ C  Sugar
1 ¼ C  Water
½ tsp   Vanilla Extract (Almond Extract makes a nice variation)

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until combined. Once combined lower heat to temperature cool enough to touch (and use). **That's it. Yup. Really. Told you a caveman could do it.

Now make him pour it all in a jar for you to eat out of later, perhaps have him add a cute love note (as long as it doesn't make you puke) or a bow, and you're set for the next 5 days. Well, once he's made an ice cream run...

*The better quality cocoa powder, the better the syrup. Try Godiva, Ghirardelli, or a local spice shop favorite before you grab the Nestle or local store brand.
**Stores in the refrigerator for a few months.
