I have yet to be disappointed with this corn syrup. Not only is it cheaper than store bought brands, it works just as well for my modeling chocolate and gumpaste. I'll keep purchasing this product

I actually purchased this for candy apples, to my surprise it performed very well, just as good as the other big brands. It’s a product that I would definitely recommend and purchase again

Cheap for this much corn syrup, and easier to deal with in this sized bottle than the really big bottles. A very good deal for what is essentially a commodity, no need to pay more for a fancy name brand!

This does not have additives like vanilla and salt, unlike Karo syrup. The only thing is the container. I don't like to contaminate the syrup by using spoons. So I have to use disposable spoons and find it somewhat wasteful. If the container was like that of Karo syrup, it would have been much more convenient to use.

Twice the product for the same price is never bad. I rarely use corn syrup except for in homemade granola. It’s sweet and wet enough to make clumps in the oat mixture when baked with minimal oil.

I use this syrup for making desserts, cocktails, culinary pastries. It has a very pleasant sweet taste and a beautiful light shade. Also pleased that the product does not contain fats, cholesterol or preservatives!

I can't say that I have a whole lot of experience with corn syrup in general, but so far this Golden Barrel corn syrup has been great. i use it in lots of different baking and sauces and it works great every time. The price is right and the large size ensures I never run out when I need it.

Great light corn syrup for my pecan pie recipe. However it is extremely thick but after zapping it in the microwaved for a few seconds it becomes much easier to pour.

I am giving this corn syrup a one. I did not like it at all! I'm not sure what else I could use it in, but it is SUPER THICK and it changed the flavor of the pecan pie so much, I threw it out!

I use corn syrup for marshmallow and candy making. I like having this size in my cupboard because it doesn't take up as much room as the gallon containers... it's so tall and narrow so it doesn't take up much room at all! The taste is good, I have no complaints. Value-wise, it does make sense to buy them in gallons and refill the smaller container though, if you're going to be using a lot of it. Even making a whole batch of marshmallows (that filled a 9"x13" pan) barely put a dent in this bottle though, so this size would probably be sufficient for most home cooking.

Finally a corn syrup that pours easy with a messy result. Works and taste just the same but is much easier to work with, which is why I suggest buying this product.

For the price, Golden Barrel corn syrup is a good buy but we have found it to heat a little different in cookies and candy then the leading store brand. The results are softer and sweeter tasting when heated to the same temperature and for the same length of time.

I always get nervous ordering brands that I have never heard of before, but was happy with how this corn syrup was shipped and worked for the cherry pies and home made marshmallows that I was making for gifts. They worked just as well as any name brand that I have ever purchased in a store. I will definitely purchase again when I need corn syrup in the future.

Absolute top quality product! I use this for sauces and it works wonderfully. There's nothing other than sweetness to alter the flavor of your recipes. It's my not so secret weapon. It is quite thick, and the quart jar can get a little messy, but you won't find a better corn syrup. I love their molasses as well.

I have chosen this "light" version of the syrup because I am so into my health lately, it doesn't taste too much different from the regular. I also like the vanilla flavor they have added. You can't make it too sweet for my sweet tooth! You are just going to love it if you haven't tried it before!

Good price, beautiful color and a good sized container. I make my own marshmallows and I was buying large containers of corn syrup from an Asian market. But I started worrying about the ingredients since the label wasn't in English. Just felt safer with this brand... Perhaps unfounded, but nonetheless....

This light corn syrup is great for baking cookies. I used to create my own syrup by melting sugar in water, so this ready-version saves me a lot of time!
