Hersheys Lite Chocolate Syrup

Hershey's makes two reduced-calorie chocolate syrups: sugar free and lite. I have sampled both, and I can say with full confidence that you will enjoy the lite much more than the sugar free variety. The sugar free version only has 15 calories per serving and is artificially sweetened. Unfortunately, it tastes like a combination of chemicals and water. I detected NO chocolatey flavor whatsoever. On the other hand, the Lite product is a welcome addition to any sweet treat. The lite syrup contains half the calories of the original with 50 in two tablespoons, but it maintains that signature Hershey's taste and is slightly less viscous than the regular variety, a characteristic that better enables it to smother your entire dessert. Other than its 50 calories, Hershey's Lite Syrup delivers next to no nutrients. Clearly, I don’t consume this product for its nutritive value; it is merely a less caloric alternative to the original product. Hershey's Lite does contain artificial sweeteners and several other "synthetic" ingredients. It is for this dearth of nutrition that lands it for my daily "ten percent. Hershey’s Lite is fairly inexpensive at around $2 for a 24 ounce bottle. Considering that 1 bottle will last you several months, I consider that a pretty good deal. Comments
