A review of Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Sauce Toppings: Dark Chocolate Espresso, Double Fudge, Salted Caramel, Pumpkin Spice, and Unicorn Sauce.
Release dates appear to differ. For Pumpkin Spice, while I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to around October 2024; I found this mid-September 2025 on the Skinny Mixes online store. Unicorn Sauce was released in January 2025, which I found on the Target website. Double Fudge was released around June 2024 or prior, and Dark Chocolate Espresso and Salted Caramel syrups were released in August 2023; I’ve found these three at Walmart and Target. Lastly, Marshmallow in early October 2025 and Peppermint Mocha sometime before 2024.
Review
All of these are reasonably thick. Sure, not as thick as many of your typical sauce-based toppings like Hershey’s, for example, but it’s likely good enough for most people without too much concern. That aside, the flavors, of course, do differ, and at least to me, have a smidge of artificialness to some degree. It’s not overbearing by any means, there’s no strong lingering aftertaste, and for the most part, these are a lot more authentic tasting compared to other brands.
Dark Chocolate Espresso: A semi-dark, moderately sweet-tasting chocolate. I’m not sure if I taste espresso per se, although there is a notable sharp flavor to it, especially compared to the Double Fudge flavor. The taste is also a bit like an artificial chocolate—not bad, though; I can see some people being turned away because of this. Personally, I find it tolerable; however, I much prefer the more tame and less artificial Double Fudge.
Double Fudge: Very similar to Dark Chocolate Espresso, this instead has a warmer note to its overall flavor. It also doesn’t feel quite as dark and lacks the sharp taste its espresso cousin has. Lastly, the chocolate does taste almost as artificial, though I still personally don’t mind it too much. While this is tasty and a good alternative to other chocolate-based syrups, there is a discernible artificialness that sways it against sugar-based syrups.
Salted Caramel: This is more or less probably the closest you’ll get to a caramel-tasting syrup that’s sugar-free. Yes, there is a very light artificial aftertaste, especially if you eat a whole glob of it, but if you just use a reasonable amount, it’s really not that bad and is, in fact, pretty tasty. Compared to the other sauce flavors on here, I found this one to be the least artificial and most genuine tasting. Further, the overall flavor and sweetness level are pretty darn close to its sugar-based counterparts. From experience, I’ve used this on brownies and ice cream to great (yummy) success! Definitely my favorite one here!
Unicorn Sauce: This is so pretty and sparkly; I love it! It’s perhaps one of the most unique-looking syrups I’ve come across, and that transcends to the flavor as well. What I got was a reasonably sweet, artificial candy berry taste. It absolutely leans towards a darker berry; however, I can’t quite pinpoint it. A blueberry mixed with something else, maybe? Something like that. Either way, it’s decent, and I didn’t feel like it tasted too weird or off either–just a smidge of fakeness that isn’t too overwhelming. Basically, it reminded me of a sweet, cheap candy you’d find at the store. I definitely see myself throwing this on some vanilla ice cream!
Pumpkin Spice: It’s pumpkin spice, and a concentrated one at that. Plus, there might be a bit of artificialness, but it could just be me–the flavor feels so strong at times! Notably, there is no lingering bad aftertaste from the sweetener either. It has your pumpkin spice flavors, and if you use even a little too much or taste it directly, it hits you with that spicy pumpkin spice kick. Either way, I would say be conservative when applying this to anything. Also, I found that combining this with the Salted Caramel flavor really brought this alive and smoothed out any bitterness.
Marshmallow: It’s mildly sweet with an artificial vanilla-like taste that comes across as “warm” with a background of fake marshmallow flavoring that does make you raise an eyebrow. Basically, you can clearly tell it’s not a sugar-based syrup; instead, it clearly uses sweeteners due to its aftertaste. It’s not terrible by any means–it’s tolerable, but it’s not quite on the level of an authentic marshmallow either. If you’ve ever had the Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip, the flavor here is identical. Anyway, it suffices for those desperate enough for marshmallow or wanting a mild artificial vanilla sweetness to add to something, though it could absolutely be improved as it falls too much on an odd-tasting side.
Peppermint Mocha: What happened here? They seemed to have used a tiny bit of their regular Double Fudge, but then overwhelmed it with this bitter, pungent flavoring that I guess is supposed to resemble some type of mocha or peppermint. Unfortunately, neither flavor lands whatsoever, and this syrup comes out swinging with a bitter aftertaste, leaving you wanting to wash your mouth out. Those who try this, whether they’re familiar with sweeteners or not, will definitely recognize that something is amiss and definitely fake–And this is coming from someone who loves mocha and especially peppermint. This sauce is definitely the worst one here!
