What is the purpose of the corn syrup?
Susan- Corn syrup is a mildly sweet syrup derived from corn starch. Its main function in recipes is to provide sweetness and moisture, and to prevent the crystallization of sugar. It provides a smooth texture to cooked sweets.
Homemade toffee is such a must over the holidays! So easy
Fiona- We love Homemade Toffee!
