This is a good treat, tho I have to share a rather 'down' story about this. My cousin and her sisters spent several years in a children's orphanage in SC during the 1940s. In later years, when, as a child, I would visit this cousin, she would always make me a peanut butter sandwich on white bread, covered with -- corn syrup. I loved it and thought it was special. It was years later that I recall she told me this was what the children were served for dinner in the home on many nights. It was hardly a 'treat' for her....it was survival.
