Question about karo syrup & marshmallow creme

[gritsar]

I'm gathering up my supplies to make candy for Christmas. I haven't done any candy making since last year at this time.

I have a question about expiration dates.

I can't find an exp. date on the bottle of karo syrup. I bought it last December and only used a tiny amount. Is it still good to use? I think so, but don't want to ruin a batch of candy if I'm wrong.

Also, I have an UNopened jar of marshmallow creme. The expiration date is June, 2009. Is it still good to use?
TIA

ACH Food Companies, Inc., the conglomerate that owns and markets Karo syrup, says, "Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite period of time, whether it has been opened or not opened. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful.

Marshmallow creme would be iffy, but honestly I would use it if the color and taste was fine and it was stored in a cool environment.

Karo syrup goes on forever.

i have had an open bottle of karo get moldy when in the cupboard but if it is in the fridge it should last forever.

Both of those would be just fine. I used up the last of last years Karo today. I finished my truffles and Peanut butter fudge today. Happy candy making

I just made pistachio brittle with Karo syrup that was 2 years old! It is delicious!!! I don't know about marshmallow cream though. If it smells good and hasn't separated I would probably use it.

Thanks y'all. Need to save a few pennies wherever we can.

Both should be just fine.
