20 Reviews of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup

This recipe is great! One thing to keep in mind though is that the syrup is extremely thin and watery looking before it cools. Once it cools it will be more like store bought syrup.

This recipe is the same as the one we used in a cafe where I once worked (only in that case we were using 8 cups cocoa powder--so imagine the mess when we let that boil over, which we did sometimes!). We used it to make hot cocoa and mochas. I made the recipe today and added 1 T instant coffee to add a little more intensity. A solid recipe, one that delivers what it promises. As the previous reviewer said, it thickens as it cools, so don't think you are in error when you first take it off the stove.

If it's any help to anyone, I've found that if you simmer this syrup for about 10 minutes, stirring all the time, it does thicken up and there's no need to add any thickener to it. It keeps better without cornstarch.

Super!!! I have made this before but not reviewed it. Made it again today! Never fail recipe! My boys wanted chocolate milk today and we cannot have the regular Hershey's Syrup (with all the junk in it.) Thanks Mindi for posting this and saving our day!

Delicious! Recipe came in handy when my own Hershey syrup ran out. I just cooled it and filled the squeeze bottle back up. Made my 9 yo daughter a chocolate shake with it tonight too. Worked out great!

Simple and delicious! I've made this 3 times already. We use it over lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream since the syrup is very low in fat. Very rich tasting. A little goes a long way. I cook it for about 8-10 minutes at medium heat for a thicker syrup, just make sure you stir it constantly so it doesn't burn or stick to the pan. This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of syrup.

This is a great recipe! I added a little cinnamon and use it to make iced coffee drinks that are yummmmm! Double the recipe and keep this chilled and on hand at all times.

Microwaved this (due to clean pan shortage).It does thicken a bit upon cooling. Used it in a banana chocolate smoothie. It worked fine. Roxygirl

My DH has had a craving for a flavored frozen coffee and since we are iced in I had to come up with one on my own. Your syrup worked great and everyone enjoyed it! Thanks. I will use often since I don't buy chocolate syrup.

Great substitute! Cheap, fast, easy and no corn syrup. We've tried this in milk, over ice cream and straight from the spoon. Tastes just like Hershey's syrup. Maybe not as thick as the original, but thick enough for us. Thanks, Mindi, for posting!
