The ingredients lists corn syrup but the directions don't mention it at all. The video also doesn't show how it is incorporated. I am assuming that it is added with the wet ingredients but when?

I've never used the slow cooker for sweet dishes but really fancy this.

I was really skeptical about this working in my slow cooker but it does - it's slightly more moist than when I bake it & didn't get the same crust around it, but is so easy & tasty I'd definitely do it again. Yum!
