Here is the recipe’s nutrition label:

Compared to a variety of storebought chocolate syrups (Hershey’s®, Torani®, Ghirardelli®, and Fox’s®), this Healthy Homemade Chocolate Syrup has:

• 20-30 less calories
• 5g-7.5g less carbs

So glad that we can now enjoy a guilt-free topping for our Reese’s Oatmeal, Banana Pancakes, Red Velvet Waffles, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and Iced Coffee Milkshakes! ??
