I make my own hot chocolate beverage. But not the syrup.

What is your time worth? And what does the clean-up cost? And the jug
in which you store it?

The store-bought stuff is *much* more convenient. So long as it doesn't 
have HFCS in it I'm OK. I actually buy Bosco or Gefen (which is also
Gluten-free) since both Hershey and Nestle have begun with the HFCS.

Easiest way to miss the HFCS is to look for the "Kosher for Passover"
notation on the label.

      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      6    Kosher frankfurters
    1/2 lb Hamburger
      2 tb Oil
      1 md Onion; chopped fine
     15 oz Can Bush's pinto beans; opt
      8 oz Can tomato sauce

      1 md Yellow onion; diced
           Yellow (French's) mustard
 
  Brown hamburger in heavy skillet. Add onion and garlic;
  cook until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients and
  simmer about 15 min. Preheat frankfurters and buns. Place
  franks in buns; top with sauce.
  
  Sprinkle chopped onions over top. Use yellow mustard if
  desired. Some like cheese on their chilli dogs. But, if
  you use cheese then the sandwich is no longer kosher.
