Why make Homemade Chocolate Syrup?
Well, in store bought chocolate syrup there are 8 ingredients. In Homemade Chocolate Syrup there is only 5. The best part? There are no preservatives.
Preservatives are put in chocolate syrup to make it last longer on the shelf. If you make it at home there is no need for that. Polysorbate 60 which is a common preservative can cause gastrointestinal issues, nausea, skin irritation and much more. Its first ingredient is also high fructose which can cause a lot of metabolic issues.
Enough of the health stuff.
