HERSHEY'S Zero Sugar Chocolate Syrup Bottle, 17.5 oz

At first I was surprised at all the negative reviews because I really like this product. But then I flashed back to my pre-keto days and I absolutely hated non-sugar sweeteners, like erthyritol and sucralose. I opted not to eat desserts because of how bad they all tasted. Bitter, not sweet enough, chemical aftertaste. Blech. So, I do get where everyone's coming from. If you eat sugar often or you bought this thinking it'd be a replacement for the regular Hershey's Chocolate Syrup you normally buy, I understand your disappointment. This isn't as good. Indisputably. That said, IF you've been on a low-carb diet for quite a while and your palate no longer remembers how delicious sugar is (or, hell, maybe you think sugar is too cloyingly sweet), then this will probably be all right. I can't tell that there's an aftertaste. I'm sure there is, but I'm so used to it now. It tastes like cheap chocolate - I mean, it's Hershey's syrup, so that's to be expected - but it's totally reminiscent of the full-sugar version I used to love as a kid. I wouldn't say "oh wow, this is so good!" but that's not because of the sweetener. It's because it's Hershey's syrup. It was never that good. It's not supposed to be. I review a lot of low-carb products because I'm always experimenting. It's very common for LC items to be harangued by people who don't eat low carb or haven't been eating low-carb foods for long. I was the same way back in the day. Everyone on the keto and LC message boards would talk up something and I'd spend all this money to try it only for it to be "meh." These days, though, I can't taste the difference between diet and regular soda or sugar-free whatever and sugar whatever. This tastes pretty close to the Hershey's syrup I grew up with, but I wouldn't expect most people buying it on a whim to like it. I can never fool my friends with sugar-free desserts even when it tastes awesome to me, so if that's where you're coming from, don't expect to be fooled, too. Highly recommended for any veteran low carber. Not recommended for anyone who thought it'd be a good alternative to the full-sugar one.

My palate is very used to artificial sweeteners, but you can always tell that weird, bitter aftertaste, and "straight up" this does taste strange. That being said, this is an excellent product when used in a certain way. When added to coffee it makes an iced mocha nearly indistinguishable from a 200+ calorie one. If you like mochas and frappaccinos and such, try this, it's a really great swap. The last time I went to a coffee shop and indulged in the real thing I thought, "this is really not worth the calories, it tastes like the ones I make at home with Hershey's zero sugar". Sugar free coffee syrups like DaVinci and Torani are not bad but this is much better because it has the texture of chocolate syrup.

Love this! Put it in my Coffee!!!

Little bit of an after taste

Do delicious! I can't believe it's sugar free! I can make sugar free chocolate milk and even sugar free protein chocolate smoothie.

Tastes absolutely awful on its own, like chemicals and a weak chocolate flavor. Bought this to mix with coffee and its flavor gets lost in the coffee. Strongly do not recommend. Pretty disappointed. I've had better 0 sugar chocolate syrups that cost less.

Can't find this at Walmart so I ordered it from Amazon and I make great tasting shakes with it No Sugar

This chocolate syrup has that classic Hershey flavor. It is nice and thick while still delivering that chocolate sauce consistency. I like sugar free items because I have problems (medically) with sugar. My reason for giving 3 stars is because it had a slight aftertaste. It was very subtle, but present.

Non a niente da invidiare a la normale. È buonissima

loved this and sid not overly effect my blood sugars

¿Qué mejor manera de comentar un sirope de chocolate sin azúcar que poniéndolo "en acción" detrás de unas tortitas? Pues eso... que está de muerte y no tiene azúcar.

Die Amis haben es eh drauf beim Syrup. Das Problem warum dieser Syrup den Deutschen nicht schmecken könnte ist, dass Deutsche erwarten, dass der Syrup selbst schon schmeckt wenn man ihn vom Löffel schleckt. Hersheys Syrup ist meiner Meinung nach grundsätzlich nicht zum pur Verzehr geeignet aber er ist perfekt als Zutat für alles was Schokosyrup braucht und dann können alle anderen auch einpacken. Die kriegen es einfach nicht hin, punkt! Wenn ich mein Eis damit zubereite höre ich jedes mal, dass es selbst das Kirmes Eis übertrifft. Aber wie gesagt, man muss damit umgehen können. Wenn ihr also eher nicht so die Feinschmecker seid, dann kauft lieber den Nesquick und Co. die man vom Löffel schleckt und es ok schmeckt (diese finde ich wiederrum widerlich).

It's a little sour on its own but when in milk it tastes great! If anyone's having issues with it mixing I use one of those electric milk frother things to stir it up and it works great :)
