    Best brownies ever!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have tried homemade brownies before but never thought they were much better than the boxed Ghiradelli triple chocolate so I... didn't bother. Just made these and my boxed days are over! This is a true dark chocolate lovers brownie. Rich, deep chocolately, fudgey and delicious! Easy too! I didn't think you could get this depth of flavor with cocoa alone but this recipe proved me wrong. These are awesome, you won't be disappointed unless you want something more sweet than chocolatey. These are almost bittersweet which is perfect for me.Read more

    AB Hits A Homerun!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    As others have already said, one taste of this syrup and that Hershey bottle will hit the garbage can. Delicious isn't the... right word to use here. This syrup is out of this world. The possibilities for for its' use are endless. Works great on ice cream, chocolate milk, topped on cookies, cupcakes, or put in a squeese bottle and decorate a plate before serving dessert. One note: I added the vanilla at the end after my sauce had reduced and was removed from the heat. I didn't want the vanilla flavor to cook out. Read more

    Tasty!

    This is easy to make and doesn't require any odd ingredients. I will never buy chocolate syrup again! I'm considering trying... almond extract instead of vanilla next time just for fun. The possibilities are endless!Read more

    Yummy chocolate syrup

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This syrup is very good on ice cream. IT is better than the crud from the store (And it is way darker). I've made it twice.... The first time I cooked it too long trying to get it thick. When it cooled it was like flubber (on the old Absent Minded Professor movie). Next time I made it I paid attention to the reviews who said you do not have to cook it very long. They were correct. It is great to have reviewers help each other out when something doesn't work right. Read more

    Tastes Good, Probably Great with Specified Cocoa

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I used regular cocoa. Tastes good for chocolate milk, and what a money saver too. Great recipe!!!

    Yum!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I blame Good Eats for making store bought chocolate syrup now taste like dung. I made this one night when I was in a... pinch. I was responsible for bringing the dessert to a potluck. I made brownies and ran out of the store bought stuff. This stuff is about 10,000% better. Never again will I buy this off the shelves.Read more
