Hershey's Introduces New Simple 5 Chocolate Syrup

Hershey's now offers a new, simpler version of their signature chocolate-flavored syrup made with just five ingredients. They're calling it "Hershey's Simply 5 Syrup."

The five listed ingredients are cocoa, water, natural flavor from vanilla beans, cane sugar, and organic invert cane syrup. Selling points include "no high-fructose corn syrup or artificial preservatives and flavors, and non-GMO ingredients."

In comparison, regular Hershey's chocolate syrup includes high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, cocoa, sugar, potassium sorbate, salt, mono- and diglycerides, xanthan gum, polysorbate 60, and vanillin (or 11 ingredients by my count).

Hershey’s Simply 5 Syrup comes in a 21.8-oz bottle and can be found at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.29.
