Recipe Notes
This is a bit over 2 cups. I had to break it down to tablespoons to try to get a nutrition calculation that is closer to what we might use. 🙂
Yes, you can freeze it but I don't think you will have it long.
Ginny McMeans says
It will be different n taste if you use maple syrup. You can if that is okay with you but you may not like it. I don’t think I would. You would want to reduce the syrup to the thickness that you like. It may not need reducing.
Katy Elise says
Can I use maple syrup instead of sugar? If so, is it necessary to reduce the H20?
Ginny McMeans says
Yes, you can Drea but I would leave out a tablespoon of regular sugar the first time around since as it is much ‘sweeter’ that coconut sugar.
Drea Smith says
Can I use regular sugar for this recipe the person I’m looking to make it for has allergies
Rachna says
This chocolate sauce turned out amazing! I’ve never made chocolate sauce before but I happened to have all the ingredients for this one to accompany some 1am pancakes! Thanks for the recipe!
Ginny McMeans says
Not at all Adi. It comes out perfect just like Hershey’s 🙂
adi says
There is no thickening agent in this recipe – Dosen’t it turn out runny?
Ginny McMeans says
Hi Sarah, Yes, leftovers can be held in the refrigerator for about a week. If you freeze it maybe freeze in smaller containers so that you can defrost a little at a time, when you need it. Defrost in the fridge or counter. If you are in a hurry the microwave will work too but be careful not to burn yourself because it will get hot really fast.
Sarah says
Hey I’m so excited to eat the syrup but leftovers, how should I go about handling those? Freezer and then warm it back up as needed? Or would the fridge work? Thanks!
Terri says
Two questions:
Has anyone tried this with Truvia – or is that not a healthy alternative to sugar?
Can this be stored in a pantry or does it need refrigeration?
Thanks, everyone!
Ginny McMeans says
Hi Roni, I have not tried that so it I can’t truly answer that. If your sweetener is one to one trade with sugar you might want to try it. Sorry I can’t answer you more clearly.
Roni says
Sounds delicious. Can artificial sweetener be used as I am diabetic?
Thanks for sharing.

Ginny McMeans says
Oh, that is so sweet. I cherish my mothers and grandmothers dishes too. She had good taste 🙂
daina says
My grandmother had these dishes… made my heart tingle when I see them….
Ginny McMeans says
Yes, omit the saly and yes – date sugar will be good just a tiny bit less sweet. Still sweet though. 🙂
Audrey says
Is date sugar just as good, and can you omit the salt?
Ginny McMeans says
Yes, you can use regular sugar with no problem. 🙂
dawn says
Is there a sub for the coconut sugar? I have sucanant or regular sugar. Would either work?
Ginny McMeans says
You are sooo right Jill. A huge win!
Ginny McMeans says
Thanks so much Olena! I really appreciate it! 🙂
