Karo Dark Corn Syrup: Molasses-Rich Syrup for Pecan Pie and Candy
- Rich, molasses-based flavor — refiners' syrup gives it a deeper color and taste than light corn syrup
- Smooth, pourable consistency — measures and blends easily into batters, glazes, and candy syrups
- Helps prevent sugar crystallization — keeps candies and confections smooth rather than grainy
- Classic baking staple — used in pecan pie, gingerbread, barbecue sauce, and baked beans
- 16 oz bottle — a standard pantry size for regular baking use
How to Use
Measure the syrup directly into pecan pie filling, gingerbread batter, barbecue sauce, or homemade candy recipes in place of or alongside sugar. When making candy, stir it in before the sugar reaches a full boil so it can help keep the finished confection smooth instead of grainy. Store the bottle tightly capped at room temperature in the pantry; refrigeration is not required and can make the syrup thicker and harder to pour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Karo Dark Corn Syrup contain allergens?
Karo Dark Corn Syrup is made from corn syrup and refiners' syrup, and the recipe does not list common allergens such as milk, egg, soy, wheat, or tree nuts. Formulations can change over time, so anyone with a food allergy should read the printed ingredient panel on the bottle before baking with it, rather than relying on a previous purchase.
How do I use and store Karo Dark Corn Syrup?
Measure it directly into pecan pie filling, gingerbread batter, barbecue sauce, or homemade candy, using it in place of or alongside sugar for richer flavor. In candy making, add it before the sugar reaches a full boil to help prevent crystallization. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool pantry; refrigeration is not needed and can make the syrup thicker.
What is the difference between Karo Dark and Karo Light Corn Syrup?
Karo Dark Corn Syrup contains refiners' syrup, which gives it a deeper color and a richer, more molasses-like flavor than Karo Light Corn Syrup. Light corn syrup has a milder, more neutral sweetness and a clear color, better suited to recipes where you don't want to change the color of the finished dish. Both help prevent sugar crystallization in candy.
