Not sure if this is allowed but I have these recipes and would like to be able to water bath them so I can have them shelf stable for a while. Would I be possible to can simple syrup or a chocolate sauce?

The recipes themselves are not giving instruction for shelf stable canning, but rather refrigerator storage. Unless you can find a safe tested recipe perhaps through the Wiki links on this sub I’d recommend against it. Some things that are shelf stable in the store (created in a commercial industrial setting) cannot necessarily be replicated in a home process. It could be an acidity and density issue if you cannot find one.
Edit: Update- sorry but straight chocolate sauce is unsafe for a home process to be shelf stable. [This link from the National Center for Home Preservation explains why.](https://nchfp.uga.edu/resources/entry/chocolate-sauce)
[A link to a Ball recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Sauce](https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=chocolate-raspberry-sauce) so there are some variations that might be safe, but you will have to refrigerate/freeze those recipes you posted to get more exactly what you want.
