Have you tried Splenda? I hadn’t so my interest was peaked when I was approached a few weeks ago to give Splenda a test. My household doesn’t have any sugar issues (we have other issues but sugar isn’t one of them).
1st test; a packet in my tea. Certainly sweeter than sugar. After facebook messaging with a parent (who uses Splenda regularly); I was advised Splenda can be “sweeter” than sugar. Instead of measuring a cup for cup (as it says on the box) – I recommend measuring 3/4 cup of Splenda to a cup of sugar.
2nd/3rd test; muffins and loaves. No one voiced a difference in taste.
Would I use Splenda instead of sugar? No – I like sugar. When might I use Splenda? If a friend had gestational diabetes. For baking for the school bake sale. It was a pleasant alternative to sugar.
Parent Club has some coupons for Splenda to share with the club. If you’re interested send us an e-mail and we’ll mail them out to you.
