Can anyone recommend a source for Dark brown Muscavado sugar other than Amazon?

I am making a Malt loaf - it's an English "thing" LOL - There is a brand called Soreen which I always used to buy (as did my mother when I was growing up). I can buy Soreen here in the specialty British store, but as I can usually eat the whole thing within a couple of hours I decided I had better make my own. Found a recipe online http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1411653/sticky-malt-loaves - hoping it tastes like the Soreen.

I got the Malt Extract on Amazon, came from Barry Farm. Amazon says Malt Syrup, but the container says Malt Extract. It tastes just like the malt extract I got in England. (Also my mum would make the three of us children have a teaspoon of malt extract every day - said it was good for us, I actually love the taste)

Thanks Canele, I already have the malt extract (guess they call it malt syrup over here). Thank you for the sources for the Muscovado, seems like Dean and Deluca are about the same price as Amazon for the Muscovado sugar. Kalustyan's was a little more expensive - but they do have a lot of interesting items. I am going to bookmark them.

Thanks so much Canele. St Pete is on the Gulf Coast - the other side of the state. I am on the Space Coast, Brevard county. Because of my limitations I do my shopping online. Bruce, my husband, does the grocery shopping. Once a year we go on a cruise out of Port Canaveral, it is 28.7 miles from Palm Bay (where we live). Even though it is only a short trip we have to take it in stages, otherwise I am a wreck by the time we get to the port. That is how limited I am to traveling.

I really appreciate your willingness to help by making the suggestions :)

@Canele I will check Penzey's out. I have bought spices from www.americanspice.com I will certainly let you know how the malt loaf turns out. I am trying to figure out what the cakes in your profile pic are?

@Canele - Hitting my head against wall! I should have known that! I have never made them but I saw a recipe for them a few months ago and was wanting to make them. But the molds are expensive.
lol.... :)

The individual copper molds are the preferred way to go as it gives the exterior a better texture. A bit darker and crisper so to speak...

but.... look into the silicone mold pans. They will do you just fine. Most large scale production of caneles are made in them now....for the very same reason you site. Cost.

@Canele - I saw the silicone molds on Amazon as well. I am a little "funny" when it comes to kitchen equipment, and prefer always to go with the best cookware and appliances. I have used silicone molds when making candy, but mostly use the polycarbonate molds. For the caneles I would love to get the Matfer Bourgeat - I have their Brioche molds and love them I use them to make Dan Tat. - Oh, the malt loaves came out fine :)
