Lyons Designer Dessert Sauces Bundle (Strawberry and Blackberry) with 2 Applicator Tips

This product is fantastic. First, be aware that the first week you get them, you're probably just going to be squirting them into your mouth and become addicted to them, but that's OK. Moving on, flavor by flavor: the raspberry is absolutely out of this world. It's fantastic on ice cream and anything else that needs a little something on the top of a dessert where frosting or powdered sugar just isn't feasible or quick enough. It's great to make any flavor ice cream raspberry laced, fantastic swirled on top of some yogurt, and even better when swirled together with the chocolate. Which brings me to number two, the chocolate. Yes, it's fantastic for designer desserts, it's that sort of deliciously bitter sweet chocolate that's very popular and tastes fantastic on lots of desserts. That one isn't being used as fast though as the raspberry only because that bitter sweet chocolate isnt exactly something you swirl all over desserts you make for kids. If you make them something chocolate, then you put that on it, it's not as inviting as the chocolate flavor of the desert itself. It's sort of contradicts the desert. Now, if this company ALSO made a regular devil's food or fudgy type of chocolate, and maybe even a milk chocolate (although I wouldn't prefer the milk chocolate)?? We would be squirting this on top of everything. A regular basic chocolate, the flavor of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting, the devil's food cake flavor, something in between the bitter sweet and the milk chocolate, that would sell like hotcakes. I like these products, but add that new chocolate product I suggested and it's a total game changer, and even the kids will be picking it up and squirting that on everything.

I attempted to reach the seller of this product several times. I do not like writing negative reviews, especially without speaking to the person or company receiving them. However, I never received any response and was left with no choice. I am a baker. In my opinion this was by far the worst raspberry sauce I ever tasted. The taste was terrible and did not even resemble raspberry sauce. I would never serve this to a my family and never to a customer. This was to be a convenience. I found it much easier and satisfying to make my own.

I bought this about a month or so ago, something for my coffee or for when I make my son some waffles and we both love it. 5 year old approved, he's a picky eater so I wasn't sure about it for him but it does add a nice flavor to my coffee in the mornings which is a nice 'spice up' from my original coffees on occasion (I like just a little sugar and some creamer in coffee and thats about it, been experimenting with flavorings lately at home.) It hasn't lost flavor and I have yet to open the 2nd bottle (probably will in the next week or so as my son is a little obsessed with it.)

So I was really hoping that this would be something close to a sweetened and smooth raspberry puree. Instead it tastes like a heavily processed, very sweet artificial raspberry topping. I used it a few times and was a little underwhelmed, but it really hit home when I had some fresh raspberries that I added some powdered sugar to and then blended and did a side-by-side comparison. SO MUCH FLAVOR WAS MISSING! It made me realize this sauce really lacks the mouthwatering tartness that you find in real raspberries. It ends up being just a very sweet and mildly fruity imitation of the real thing.

Used the raspberry on a chocolate chip cheesecake made for a group of 12 people. Got many compliments on the cheesecake and the sauce. Gave the remaining sauce to one of the ladies to use on a cheesecake she was planning to make.

This syrup is outstanding. I discovered it on vacation at a restaurant that used it as pancake syrup. Best I've EVER had! Beats the daylights out of grocery-store raspberry ice cream topping. With it's high content of actual seedless raspberry puree I plan on using this for curds, fillings, etc. This will save a gob of time (and money) pressing all those berries through a sieve with a spatula. Also bought the 3 pack of this, chocolate & caramel, haven't tried yet.

I bought this to layer with my homemade frappacinos. I was a little hesitant at first, but I'm so glad I purchased. Now all my friends are asking for me to make one for them a raspberry mocha frappacino.

Worked great as a topping to write on our birthday cake. Favorite flavor is raspberry and couldn't find in the stores so ordered it on line. It came just in time. Tastes great and wrote great on the cake.
