Goodbye to an Old Friend


Hershey’s syrup and I have been close friends for decades. I’ve stirred it into countless glasses of cold milk and countless mugs of warm milk. I’ve always topped a bowl of vanilla ice cream with swirls of Hershey’s syrup.


I never looked at the ingredients list until yesterday. I was shocked to learn that its three main ingredients are high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, and water! How long has this been going on?


Surely, one could make chocolate syrup at home. Yes, recipes abound. They are simple, fast, and inexpensive. You can bet I’ll be making some soon,.
