I think you mean light 'Karo' syrup. Yes, you can substitute light for dark, your end product will be slightly lighter in color. It won't have any impact on the taste or texture of your baked goods.
Divinity is a light as a feather confection, with a deep vanilla flavor so delicious, cooked syrup from the heat, add 2 tablespoons of dark rum to the syrup
"Light" here is used in the color sense, i.e. the opposite of "dark." The "corn" part is because it's made from cornstarch. "Syrup" should be obvious. It's mainly glucose and water.
Karo Syrup is light corn syrup. Unless you buy the dark one.
3 parts light corn syrup, 1 part molasses
You can use any kind of syrup, light or dark maple, real maple. The flavor is going to be a little different with each type. I use dark maple because I like the flavor it gives the pie. The syrup keeps the sugar from recrystallizing.
White syrup is used in baking when you don't want to have a dark syrup change the colour of the food in a recipe (baking). It is usually called White or Light corn syrup and can be found at most grocery stores with the syrups/baking. It is also sweeter than dark syrup and has vanilla in it.
Another name for 'dark syrup' is TREACLE.........
Dickens tries to use "dark humor" to make contrast of light and shade
dark corn syrup = dark Karo syrup Notes: This corn syrup has a mild molasses flavor, and it's a common ingredient in barbecue sauce, pecan pie,Substitutes: simple syrup (make with 2 parts sugar and 1 part water) OR Combine 3 parts light corn syrup plus 1 part molasses OR golden syrup
It is between light golden brown to dark, reddish-wooden brown, depending on the grade of it.
The classes of maple syrup are divided primarily by color and flavor. In general, the darker the color, the strong the flavor. The Grade A color classes go from light amber (Fancy), medium amber, dark amber (from light to dark). Grade B is darker still. A common misconception is that darker color means thicker syrup -- this is not the case. All pure maple syrups have close to the same density (typically 66-67% sugar solids).
Dark syrup is the translation; however, I'm not sure what an equivalent would be. Possibly light molasses.
