About Hershey's 'Chocolate' flavored syrup, has anyone noticed it doesn't taste so good any more?
Just bought some (so I could try to make mocha and save $ on Starbucks) and I don't think its as good as it was. Is it me, my imagination, or my memory???

1. I'm done with Hershe stuff ..............
They just closed down their last US plant and moved completely to Mexico.
Yeah, it's probably different and not as good.
Are there other brands you like? American-made?
(Listen to me - I just fixed myself a Sabra and cream on the rocks - well, at least Israel is the homeland for some of us..........)

2. I haven't checked other brands, so, what do I know?
PS, Israel ain't homeland for MOI, anyhow! Poland/Russia, one of them places. (I don't LIKE deserts!)
As to Sabra etc., re: food stuff, if someone does it well, go for it. As in, Belgium for chocolate; Giant sells broken up from fergit the Co, so I don't get the doves anymore.

3. Ever go to Trader Joe's?
They sell these wonderful big bars of chocolate, milk and dark, and I believe it's Belgian. It's really, really good.
Bet you could melt it and use it in the coffee drink?
I'm no dessert eater, either - give me a hunk of cheese and some good port.
Sabra and cream is a lovely late-night thing. I'm easy ................

5. I buy the dark chocolate
It's healthy, doncha know. lol. It also adds great flavor to choclate milk so it would probably be good in your mochas.

7. No, Hershey's Dark Chocolate Syrup
Just like what we had as kids, except dark chocolate!
Uh, there's a difference betweenchocolate flavored syrup and chocolate syrup.
