Is Syrup Neccesary in this Recipe?

in this recipe?

1 package of silken tofu (~12 oz)
10 oz chocolate chips, about one small package. Many dark chocolate chips are vegan; check the ingredients though if this is a concern.
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract; optional.
Directions:

Blend tofu (preferably at room temperature) in food processor, blender, or with hand mixer until just smooth.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips with a tablespoon or two of water over low heat. Stir constantly.
Add maple syrup to melted chocolate and combine.
Put chocolate & syrup blend into processor and mix with tofu until creamy.
Pour into very small serving dishes – this stuff is rich. Serve warm or chill until set…

I have syrup. ive just read another recipe, and it didnt say syrup!

If you use unsweetened chocolate, you need the syrup.
The recipe without syrup may call for sweetened chocolate ..
