what can i use a sub for corn syrup
Hi Vanessa,
You can really use whatever sugar substitute is your taste, such as white sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. Play around with it and see which one tastes the best!

they are not the best. they didn’t stick together at all. and way too sweet
Hi Rivka,
Thanks for this feedback. Sometimes a recipe can take a trial or two before we get it just right. Of course we may need to add our personal touch 🙂
In terms of making it stick together more effectively, you can try using parchment paper or gloved hands to compress the chews down before adding the chocolate.
When it comes to sweetness, this particular dessert is intended to be very sweet (peanut chews are meant to be a type of candy) however if your preference is less sweet, you can always reduce the sugar and try it that way.
Let us know how it comes out! This recipe is part of the iconic Nitra Ladies Auxiliary cookbook. Hopefully you can add your personal touch to this time tested favorite 🙂

Can chocolate chips be used instead of baking chocolate?
Am going to try
