OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — Corn syrup has become a topic of national conversation this week after an advertising campaign brought attention to its use as an ingredient in beer production.
“Consumers may or may not want corn syrup in their beer, but we know that they love it in their desserts,” said Kunjal Dharia, brand manager, Karo Syrup. “Karo Syrups contain no high fructose corn syrup and deliver a taste that brings sweetness to their lives.”
Karo is the leading national brand of corn syrup and contains no high fructose corn syrup. While Karo Corn Syrup is strongly associated with pecan pie, it brings sweetness to many desserts. Karo has taken this opportunity to demonstrate its appeal by sharing one of its favorite recipes, their extra soft and chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies:
