    You don't want to put something 'unhealthy' on your fried batter mix?

    The Hershey sugar free chocolate syrup is good in milk or on ice cream, but I have not tried it on a pancake. *note to self-try on pancakes!*

    I buy a sugar free syrup for my pancakes/waffles, etc. Because it's 20 calories for 1/4 cup compared to regular syrup at 200 calories for 1/4 cup.

    I'm going to say "no." I prefer to avoid eating anything that was made in a laboratory.

    As for substitutes: Why not try some berry syrups, or mures? I tried some blackberry Mure the other day, and it was delicious! Sure, it has some sugar in it, but it's mostly from the fruit they used to make the syrup.

    I only use 100% maple syrup. 1/4 cup isn't that many calories, I use way less than that, anyway, and it tastes divine. Why not enjoy your food?

    I love Hershey's Genuine chocolate syrup, but HATE the sugar free version. I don't think it tastes anything like the real thing...maybe I'm a traditionalist.

    But, if you're really looking for something healthier, I second the suggestion to go with some berry syrups. Yum!

    Simple:

    Read the ingredients list. If the majority of things on it are words you cannot pronounce easily, or you don't know what the heck it really it, IMO, it's not healthy. It's probably composed of chemicals which were artificially created in a factory. Not real food.

    By no means will it kill you, or even make you noticeably sick, but your body will thank you if you feed it actual food.

    I don't personally use chocolate syrup a lot, but one of my immediate family loves it. I make chocolate syrup every couple of weeks or so, but I use evaporated cane sugar. I haven't tried using artificial sweeteners, but it might work.

    Here's the quick and easy recipe I use:

    We don't allow fake sugars into our home.

    So that would be a no.

    Why eat something made in a lab?

    Just get some real syrup and use less. A little goes a long way.

    If diet foods really "worked" we would not be a nation/world of obese people

    I rarely eat pancakes, but the kids love them so I've switched them to reduced sugar syrup. On the occassions we've run out, they get the option of strawberry yogurt or applesauce. They love it and I'll actually eat a couple as well. :)

    Actually, I have a lot of good luck with that, thanks. We don't eat fake sugar (it's a headache inducer for me so doctor's orders). I just have to read the labels.

    The New Englander in my just shivered. You're feeding your kids reduced sugar syrup instead of maple syrup from a tree? Just use a little regular syrup. It's actually considered a healthy sugar choice believe it or not.
