Orthodox6 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm replying via "instinct" rather than via "experience." That is, I have much experience with agave nectar, but none with corn syrup (because I will not eat it any more). The corn syrup will provide that glaze-like, slightly crackly "veneer" characteristic of many candies. The agave nectar will remain runny and sticky. I'm basing this reply on things I have read in cookbooks over the years, and on cooking experience with agave. I look forward to reading answers from more knowledgeable cooks !

cjzimmer1 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have similar recipe for caramel corn. I substituted honey for the corn syrup. When I added peanuts it tasted just like cracker jacks. With the corn syrup is was a bit more caramel flavor. I have never used agave so I don't know how that would work but I know honey will.

lighthouseacademy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't think it will work. You might be able to try maple syrup instead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria from IN Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 My brother has made marshmallows with rice syrup before, but never caramel corn. I'm not sure whether it would have the same consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Real maple syrup worked! These were very good and I substitutde the corn syrup with real maple syrup. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I bet that malt barley syrup would work, too:-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
