Great sugar-free recipe! I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out just as I expected. Has a more semi-sweet dark chocolate flavor than milk chocolate one. It is perfect for my application, which is homemade iced mochas and brings the calorie count WAY down when compared to Hershey's syrup. I will be making this again!

This was really good! The thickness was perfect. Don't wait for this thing to hit a rolling boil. Reduce the heat when you see steam. Mine did not need a full five minutes to reach my desired consistency. I recommend adding salt to this at the end after you've sweetened to taste, if you find it bitter.

This is a great sugar free recipe. It tastes better than the hersheys sugar free syrup I bought in the store. I followed the recipe exactly this time and next time I might add a drop of peppermint extract too for a mocha peppermint syrup. Thanks a lot for posting. I will be using this in all my mocha frappucchino drinks!

I agree with too bitter and I tried adding extra sugar...not a keeper for me.

This is absolutely delicious. The best I have ever made. I followed the recipe exactly too, except that I added a little more Splenda. Those who gave the recipe 1 star don't know what they are talking about. They must not have followed the recipe.
