Hi Rochelle,
I think that most confections, candy, jams, etc. have corn syrup in them.
You really have to read the labels on everything.

Boy, I guess! I was looking for some pure fruit spread (can’t call it jelly
or jam) to use as an occasional treat on my Ezickel bread. And guess what,
most of them had corn syrup. No sugar, but snuck in the corn syrup. What a
bummer. It is so important to read the labels, even when the print is so
tiny that you can’t make it out. I sometimes have to bring a magnifying

glass (old eyes! LOL). And if I still can’t be sure, then it stays on the
shelf. I so crave carbohydrates that I don’t want to sabotage myself
accidentally with an avoid or even hidden sugars. If I give in, I want to do
it knowingly and on my terms, not to be tricked into it.

One could make their own marshmallows, they would only contain gelatin and
sugar, and whatever flavoring desired.I have a recipe somewhere…..

Sharon,
I was thinking that marshmallows had corn syrup. It seems like just about
everything has corn syrup if not wheat, milk & cornstarch. Sigh.

<< as far as marshmallows
I bet that marshmallows contain corn syrup as well as sugar. I don’t know
for sure.
