I'm making granolla bars, I don't have any corn syrup, it calls for 1/2 cup. Can I substitute? I looked on google and didn't find anything. I'm in the middle of the recipe.

I think I found a substitution. 1 C. sugar and 1/4 C. water equals 1 Cup corn syrup. Hope it works!

Maple syrup??

I found this. I hope it helps. Good luck.

Corn syrup is a very thick, sweet product that is commercially made from corn. It contains glucose, dextrin and maltose. Most bakers and cooks use it to create body in pastries and sweet sauces. Frankly, there is no substitute for this product. However, a similar natural product that I have used to substitute corn syrup (for its viscosity) is honey, for the texture is basically the same. One other possibility would be to create a simple syrup of equal parts water and granulated sugar reduced, by slow boiling until the desired viscosity is achieved

How did your granolla bars turn out?

By Momaroze on Sunday, August 1, 2004 - 10:48 am:

Slightly crumbly. Not to bad considering I had no corn syrup/honey. I did boil the water and sugar for a bit. It didn't quite achieve the granolla bar I wanted. I'm going to post the recipe once I make them a second time to be sure this recipe is good (hold together nicely). They are really yummy if you like peanut butter. Kids loved them and for school they would be a great snack! Thanks. I think maple syrup would have worked just as well as the boiled sugar/water?

I would love the recipe...i spend way to much $$ on those things!

Kaye, I will post the no bake recipe anyway because I am quite confident that it will work out just fine. Look for "Gobble up granola snacks" on the recipe board.
