You can marble the top with the Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
Just pour thin lines of syrup on top and take a toothpick to drag across the lines to make any pattern you would like.
Bake 25 minutes checking the jiggle factor...if need be bake another 5 minutes more check again...
Press the center gently with finger, if it comes back it is done. Color should be light tan not golden brown.
