Corn syrup is considered today a horrible sweetener having an adverse effect on the human body<\/p>\n

I have been asked to find alternatives to corn syrup (see below). Before I get there let me say something about it: Corn syrup is made from corn starch (natural ingredient) using natural enzymes that break down the corn starch (which is a poly-sugar – a long chain of sugars connected to each other). This generates a corn syrup\u00a0 which is a mix of sugars of all kinds. This is vital for candy making as without it – you cannot make candies that are clear, tasteless (without additives like spices and herbs) and colorless.<\/p>\n

I have tested hundreds of batches and many alternatives and here are my recommendations:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Agave syrup [a good substitute]<\/li>\n
2. Honey [con: gives a strong honey flavor to the candies]<\/li>\n
3. Maple syrup [con: results vary depeding on batch and maker]<\/li>\n
4. Lyle’s golden syrup [con: gives a strong caramel flavor to the candies]<\/li>\n
5. Rice syrup (same as corn syrup) – was recommended by a channel viewer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   Below you can see my first success: Carmel and salty peanuts hard candies.<\/p>\n

   Hope this helps!<\/span><\/p>\n

   Have a sweet day<\/span><\/p>\n
