Yes, when I said white syrup, I should have stated Karo syrup. And it is found in our grocery stores by the pancake syrup. Granny_59, I hope that you can find it there. Good luck to all who make this. Another hint I have learned over the years, do NOT attempt to make candies when it is hot or humid. My husband complains when I am in candy mode, because my kitchen is down to about 62>65 degrees. But he loves to eat the candy, so it is a trade off. Anther thing is that sometimes is you try to remove the foil from the bottom of the caramel, it is pretty stuck on, I just rub my hand over the foil, and the warmth of my hand helps to release the caramel. Candy making is so much a trial and error thing.
