1 cup ice cubes

2 tablespoons salt

1/4 cup chocolate syrup

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1. Start by filling a bowl with ice cubes. You can use any type of ice, but crushed ice will give a more authentic snow cone experience.

2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt evenly over the ice cubes. This is the part where you get to relive your childhood creativity.

3. Drizzle 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup over the salted ice. You can adjust the amount to your taste, but this is where the magic happens.

4. If you're feeling extra indulgent, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the chocolate syrup before drizzling it over the ice. This will give your treat a richer flavor.

5. Use a spoon to mix the salt, chocolate, and ice together, making sure the ice is evenly coated.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy the nostalgic taste of your childhood creation.
