Splenda Brown Sugar

I was looking to buy this yesterday, but when I check the nutritional info, it said 1/2 tsp had 2g sugar - that's really alot for a sugar substitute, isn't it?  Needless to say, I didn't buy it.  Does this sound right to you?

The brown sugar one is a blend of real brown sugar and splenda.  It's way sweeter than regular brown sugar tsp for tsp. 

The one thing about the splenda brown sugar is if a recipe calls for a cup of brown sugar you only use 1/2 cup of splenda brown sugar. this way you are not getting as much sugar. I use it when i am baking or if I am having oatmeal.

That is correct.  When I've used it in baking, I've only ever used a very small amount. Also, you only use 1/2 of what you would use of regular brown sugar.

 Hi Megan,

I found a recipe online for protein muffins that called for splenda brown sugar blend and I was concerned for the same reasons. I found at Longo's that they had Sugar Twin brown sugar with no cals/sugar/etc. that measures equal for brown sugar. The texture is drier than brown sugar, but in the recipe I was using, it did the job. Hope that helps!
 

Megan...I concur with everyone else!!  When I bake and it calls for brown sugar...its the splenda brown sugar!!  You don't notice the difference at all in recipes using half the amount!!  good luck...Patti K.
