Hello,
My name is Kortney.
I am looking for a recipe that my Father in Law has told me about.
I searched your page but the only fudge recipes used Cocoa.
I am looking for the Hershey’s Fudge Recipe that was on the side of the Syrup can…
not cocoa.
Thank you for your help!
Best Wishes,
Kortney
Hi Kortney,
You know, I do these searches in steps:
First, I searched the entire Internet for a fudge recipe that said it was from the
"Hershey's Chocolate Syrup label" or the "Hershey's Syrup label." I did not find any
mention of such a recipe or any mention that a fudge recipe had ever appeared on the
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup label.
Second, I searched the entire Internet for any fudge recipe that even called for Hershey's
Chocolate Syrup by name. I only found one, which is the first recipe below, and that has
marshmallows.
Third, I went to the Hershey's Community Archives website, which has photos or scans of
all of the labels that have appeared on Hershey's Cocoa and Hershey's Chocolate Syrup cans.
They have photos of eleven labels that have appeared on Hershey's Chocolate Syrup cans
since 1933. They have recipes on them, but not one has a fudge recipe. I e-mailed the
Hershey Community Archives and asked them if there had ever been a fudge recipe printed
on the Hershey's Chocolate Syrup can. If I hear from them, I'll let you know what they say.
Finally, I searched for any recipes that called for Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, hoping that
there would be a fudge recipe among them. I found a Hershey's Chocolate Syrup booklet
entitled ""55 Recipes for Hershey's Syrup" that Hershey published several decades ago.
It doesn't have a date, but you can tell that it is quite old because it refers to a "10c(ent)
can of Hershey's Syrup." When was the last time that even the smallest can of Hershey's Syrup"
cost a dime? That booklet has several fudge recipes that call for Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.
Those recipes are below, beginning with the second recipe. They are from Hershey's, printed in
a Hershey's Syrup recipe booklet, but there's no evidence that they were ever printed on the
cans themselves.
At this point, I would have to say that I don't think that there was ever a fudge recipe
printed on the Hershey's Chocolate Syrup can, although there have been some fudge recipes
calling for Hershey's Syrup that were printed in recipe pamphlets & booklets published by
the Hershey Company. If I hear otherwise from the Hershey Company or if someone sends me a
photo/scan of a Hershey's Chocolate Syrup label that proves otherwise, then I will let ya'll
know.

Dear Uncle,
Thanks for the information on the chocolate syrup recipes. You answered a question--a 10c can
means a 10 cent can. Now my question is how much was in a 10 cent can so we can try those
vintage recipes. Do you know?
Thanks,
Florence
