Baking and Tahini Halva: replacing sugar/honey with corn syrup (pure dextrose)?

Baking and Tahini Halva: replacing sugar/honey with corn syrup (pure dextrose)? - Appetizing pancakes with fresh banana poured with honey

I just read a recipe for DIY Tahini Halva made using honey and another recipe (sugar free) of Tahini halva made with erythritol.

However, Erythritol is not cheap and I don't mind carbs like "dextrose", so I'm considering other options.

I am avoiding the use of fructose.

I've considered replacing the honey with corn syrup, but I don't know the ratio. I've also considered a Dextrose powder + water mixture as a substitute.

However, I'm not sure if the physics and chemistry perfectly work out in either case, since sugar can be tricky.

What fructose-free sugars could I use as a replacement in a Halva recipe, and with what ratio?

    Corn syrup is easier to find in supermarkets has a higher water content and is slightly more sweet than liquid glucose. It can be substituted for glucose but you need to adjust your recipe for the extra water content in corn syrup.
