    Hi,

    Can I replace Corn Syrup for other product?
    In Brazil is impossible to find Corn Syrup!

    thanks

    Hi Kurt, you can try substituting corn syrup with equal parts honey or golden syrup (which is another processed sweetener made from cane sugar).

    Just keep in mind that they are sweeter than corn syrup and will lend a different flavor profile to the recipe.

    Cheers!
