After getting my ice shaver I knew that I had to get some decent syrups to go with it, and this brand and flavors have been a pretty good choice.
The flavors do indeed stay with the ice instead of just washing off the ice and becoming a colored juice on the bottom of my bowl, the flavors were very good for trying out the ice shaver for the first time and if anyone buys an ice shaver themselves I highly recommend this brand to try their first test on. One complaint though while the price of the syrups was decent the shipping is a little pricey so if you’re not sure of this brand yet the other one I do recommend is the Torani syrup bottles which are pretty decent themselves as well…

I bought this for my youth group and the kids say it’s as good or better shaved ice than we buy up town at the Paradise Snow stand. The machine is fast and works well with Sonic ice. Did have some problems with larger peices of ice getting stuck and having to turn the machine over to get it unstuck. It does make a mess as it shoots the ice out fast! Bst have the chute area covered completely by the cup or bowl. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good ice machine as a fairly reasonable price for groups.

This thing works like a charm, makes perfect shave ice snow cones and is compact enough to be easy to store. Came with Syrup flavors, foot peddle, and spouts. Well packed and on time. Highly highly recommended.

This snow machine is probably the best one decides the snow ball machines that cost [...]. I recommend this snow cone machine to anyone who just wants a snow cone, or maybe a party with a couple of friends. the snow looks like real snow you got out of your backyard in winter! It might be [...], but I think it is TOTALLY WORTH IT!

The ‘Easter Bunny’ brought this item for my grandson and granddaughter this year. We purchased the snow cone machine last year and needed more syrup for this summer. It is a wonderful idea for the kids to make their own snow cones and share with friends. They have many choices for flavoring so everyone is happy.

I didn’t actually buy these…. I tried to, but after adding 5 individual 16oz bottles ($4.49 each) to my cart and check out, I found that I had ~$27 in shipping for them! Ouch… Just beware….

These syrups are absolutely delicious! If you like snow cones, and are tired of weak or diluted-tasting syrups, try these. The flavor is anything but weak and they make you want to go back for more. This assortment is a great value, but if you have lots of family and friends over for your frozen treats, they will go fast! I highly recommend them.

We got the kids a snow cone maker for Christmas but couldn’t find the syrup anywhere but on line. The Hawaiin Shaved Ice is perfect – it tastes just like the snow cones you remember as a kid on the beach.

I needed this product fairly quickly for a party I was having so I emailed the company. They sent it out to me and I received within 2 days. I really appreciated having one less thing to worry about when it came to all the planning. I am very thankful for their fast service.

These syrups are just like the ones we had when we lived in Hawaii. This kit gives you the all important pourers and everything you need to make yummy treats (besides the machine). For the money, this is a good deal. You can always order other flavors, too. This brand has all the favorites.

We have a BIG industrial strength snow cone machine because my husband loves them so much. It doesn’t matter if it is cold and rainy – a snow cone trumps all.

We’ve tried many different syrups, and what you need to understand is that they may all look the same, but some taste very diluted whereas others are very intense, like the ones advertised here. Also be sure to read the directions when you buy syrups from the stores – some of them need to be mixed with water but usually not for use with snow ones.

This starter kit is just great, because it gives you everything you’d need to go with along your snow cone. The bottle pourers are just great, and you really do need them. Just put them on the bottles, throw out the original tops, and leave the bottles on the counter. No drips, no need to seal the top. (We have ours on the counter next to several candy jars and dishes – my son says we look like the house from Hansel and Gretel.)

Highly recommended. These are my favorite syrups because they are strong and sweet and the bottle size is just perfect for pouring. Highly recommended.
