Po' Bastard's Chocolate Syrup for Drunks

In Ireland, the Easter Bunny drinks Guinness.

Po' Bastard's Chocolate Syrup for Drunks

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used Ghirardelli, brought to me by the beloved Aunts)
-1/2 cup sugar
-1/2 cup GUINNESS (awww yeah!)
-dash salt
-1/2 tsp. vanilla

Method:
Stir together the cocoa and sugar. Heat the Guinness in the micro or in a small pan on the stove. Add the beer and all other ingredients, and stir. Put it in a small pan, and bring to the boil. Let it go for about 3 minutes, you can tell it's getting thicker if it coats the back of a metal spoon.

Notes:
-I drizzled this syrup over vanilla ice cream and chocolate Guinness cake. The recipe for the latter is available in Nigella Lawson's latest publication, FEAST.
-I suppose you could put the syrup on any kind of ice cream, really; or brownies, with Guinness in them. Maybe you could even stir it into coffee, but I'll have to get back to you all on that one.
