Recipe: What is the difference between light corn syrup and dark corn syrup? (for Susie

Can Karo light and dark corn syrups be interchanged in recipes?

Yes. Karo light and dark corn syrups perform similarly in recipes and can usually be used interchangeably. Recipes usually specify which type to use but the choice may be guided by personal preference. Typically, light corn syrup is used when a delicately sweet flavor is desired, such as in fruit sauces and jams. Karo light corn syrup is made with real vanilla

Dark corn syrup is made with refiners' syrup, a type of molasses. With its more robust flavor and color, it is ideal for many baked goods.

Both Karo light and dark corn syrups, along with Karo pancake syrup, are ideal toppings for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits.

Golden syrup is similar to light corn syrup, it has a golden color and a little more "flavor" than corn syrup. In the U.K., it is used a lot, the one I am familiar with is Lyle's Golden Syrup which can be bought in the U.S. at specialty shops featuring British food, etc. You can use Golden Syrup in place of honey, molasses in equal amounts. You can substitute Golden syrup for sugar, 1 cup Golden Syrup replaces 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup liquid.
