What a wonderful post and great photo steps! I might give this a try (if I have the time!).
The use of corn syrup is essential for a lot of candy making. I think people are confusing corn syrup with High Fructose Corn Syrup--they are two different things. Corn syrup in moderation (like any sugar) is fine, and in candy recipes works to prevent crystallization, if I'm remembering things correctly.
