Delicious. I didn't watch the video so don't know if it matches the recipe (the way another reviewer said it didn't), but it came out great -- not at all grainy, but instead very smooth and easy to pour. The only thing I'd say is that it's "dangerous" because it makes it very easy to chug 12 ounces of chocolate milk at a time, lol. And I personally wouldn't put it in squeeze bottles as Alton Brown suggests, but rather a wide-mouth glass jar or anything that makes it easier to get at the leftovers (the syrup sticks to the sides of the bottle enough that you have to work to scrape it off). Great recipe. I made a Food Network account just so I could say thank you to Alton Brown and all the positive reviewers! Not the negative ones who use bizarre logic to tell you a recipe won't work...!
