What comes closest to the required ingredianst (?) that's available at Kroger or

10 tablespoons golden syrup ?
115g caster sugar ?

Lyle's Golden Syrup & granulated sugar.

I have seen Lyle's Golden Syrup it a fair number of groceries in
the US but not consistantly.  If there's a Cost Plus World Market
in your area they carry it.

Because Lyle's is a sugar syrup, any other sugar syrup will
work as a non-identical substitute.  Honey, maple syrup, soghum
and so on.  Lyle's is a by-product of cane sugar refinement and
so is molasses, so it could be approximated by mixing some
dark molasses with enough clear karo syrup to bring it to the
color of honey or maple syrup.  Still not identical but about as
close as can be gotten.

I thought caster sugar was finely powered so the closest would
be confectioners sugar?

You are right- in the US it's referred to as Superfine. You can
process granulated sugar if Superfine is unavailable.
