Is Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Syrup Vegan - Vegan Friendly or No?

I have heard people tittle-tattle that veganism demands one to sacrifice their favorite foods. Scoff! And ask me why isn’t that crap! I have been a hard-core vegetarian for a couple of years, and never will I agree to it being boring. Speaking about favorite foods - Chocolate has been an eminent question for vegans. Well, of course, vegans can have chocolate, and who can resist Hershey’s when it comes to chocolate. Hershey’s chocolate syrup is something that I never regret overindulging in! 

I know not everyone is a fan of dark chocolates. That is why Hershey has three sapid syrups: chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, and caramel syrup. But do the ingredients are promising to a vegan? Let us know in detail about the ingredients in Hershey’s syrup.
