My Thoughts 

When it comes to chocolate sauce,  Old School Favorites is definitely one of the best. Now that I've seen the difference, I won't be going back.  My children loved  adding it to their milk, but of course, the real fun was making ice cream sundaes. With this hot fudge, our sundaes received a flavor boost like no other. It was so rich and creamy, and the perfect compliment to any flavor of ice cream.  A little definitely goes a long way when you have this much flavor packed into your toppings. Of course, tasty sauces aren't all child's play.  I also added a little to my latte instead of sugar, and I felt like I had just walked out of the coffee house. The uses are endless because chocolate goes with pretty much everything.
