What does the 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup do for the icing? Is it replace-able? I have little (or no) need for corn syrup in the house 99.9% of the time. 20+ years ago I tried to find a backer who could make a "Reeses Cup" like cake or a recipe for one. I had no success. Now you've done it! And one of the people I would share it with (in order to limit the amount I personally eat) cannot eat chocolate. I think I'll manage! Somehow!!! Libby, corn syrup gives it some shine and thins it out for pouring. You could definitely just add more cream or milk... PJH
