Whether you want to find a new chocolate syrup brand or wish to learn more about the ones you know, we have compiled the below list for you. These are some of the most popular brands out there that we believe many readers will enjoy!
Chocolate Syrup Brands
Hershey’s
Hershey’s may be the most recognizable chocolate syrup brand out there. It is a common product in many refrigerators around North America. It is often the favorite go-to for making chocolate milk or to use as an ice cream topper. In addition to the classic Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup pictured above, you may also like Hershey’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup, Simply 5 (5 simple ingredients), or Hershey’s Sundae Dream.
Nesquik
One of the benefits of using Nesquik over certain other chocolate syrups is that it does not contain high fructose corn syrup. Its three primary ingredients are sugar, water, and cocoa processed with alkali. One tablespoon has 50 calories, 13 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of sugar. It is a fat-free treat which is also kosher. If you like Strawberry flavor too, Nesquik has you covered with their tasty Strawberry Syrup.
Smucker’s
The JM Smucker Company dates back to 1897 when Jerome Monroe Smucker started the business in Orrville, Ohio. It’s fair to say that the company has since perfected its craft at making quality jams, peanut butters, syrups, and much more.
Smucker’s makes Sundae Syrup that is chocolate flavored. They make a sugar-free version and one sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. Other chocolate ice cream toppings made by Smucker’s include magic shell, hot fudge, and more.
Ghirardelli

Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup is one to consider if you are seeking to minimize your calorie intake but still wish to enjoy the sweetness of the syrup. It has zero calories, fat, carbs, and sugars. The syrup can be used on ice cream, yogurt, coffee, milkshakes, and more.
Fox’s U-Bet

It uses no high-fructose corn syrup and it is fat-free. In fact, the syrup formula was recently changed to include more natural ingredients to meet customer demands.
In addition to making fair trade chocolate syrup, the company also manufactures a variety of other syrups such as sugar-free chocolate, chocolate sundae sauce, malt, coffee, vanilla, and strawberry.
Ah!laska
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is a brand of Smucker’s that makes an organic chocolate flavored syrup. It is gluten-free and non-GMO. It is an excellent choice for desserts like milkshakes, ice cream, and chocolate milk. This product has some of the best ingredients you will find for a chocolate syrup. The ingredients include: Organic Invert Sugar, Organic Cocoa, Water, Organic Vanilla Extract, Salt and Xanthan Gum. Keep in mind that this is a thicker syrup, which may make the last of the syrup difficult to flow out of the bottle.
Bosco
Bosco Chocolate syrup was started by an unknown physician in 1928, according the legend of the company. Its signature flavor comes from not only the natural cocoa, but also malt extract. In fact, the recipe hasn’t changed since its beginning, which is quite impressive. It contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The flavors of Bosco syrup include chocolate, sugar-free chocolate, strawberry and sea salt caramel.
Monin
Monin is an excellent chocolate syrup for mixing into coffee or other similar hot beverages. The company makes approximately 150 flavors of syrup, so there are a lot of options beyond chocolate to consider. Notable syrups that have chocolate are Chocolate Syrup, Chocolate Cookie Syrup, Walnut Brownie Syrup and White Chocolate Syrup.
Wildly Organic
Wild Organic produces a Fair Trade Certified organic chocolate syrup. Out of any other chocolate syrup featured here, this one features the least ingredients.
