- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, cocoa and flour. Stir in water, a little at a time, to make a smooth paste. Stir in milk and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool completely at room temperature, stirring often to prevent a skin from forming. Store in refrigerator after cooling.
