No - you can use any corn syrup if the recipe calls for Karo syrup. There are even recipes that don't use the syrup at all and use something like brown sugar

It doesn't have to be the Karo brand as long as it is the exact same type of syrup, but Karo is definitely the best.
You cannot substitute maple syrup or something like that....it does not thicken like Karo just in case that's what you are asking.

No any type of corn syrup will do. Karo is just a brand name.

Karo syrup is like calling all tissue Kleenex. As long as it's the proper color (light, dark) then it will work.

the recipe i use just calls for dark corn syrup, so it probably doesn't matter.
