A Better Tasting Splenda-Type Sweetener "Recipe"

GreatDepression

I'm someone who loves the caramel undertones of brown sugar and palm sugar. Unfortunately these sweeteners are also high in calories and carbs. I've turned to packets of Splenda and Equal in order to get the sweet taste without the additional calorie load. Recently I was able to come up with my own version of "brown sugar" Splenda that is cheaper and more potent.

Ingrediants:
1lb bag of dark brown sugar (or granulated coconut sugar)
50grams of PURE SUCRALOSE (can easily be purchased online)

In a large container that can be sealed, pour in both powders and shake 'til it is well mixed. That's it! You're done. Pure sucralose is EXTREMELY sweet and by mixing it with dark brown sugar, you are adding bulk to it just like what Splenda does (except brown sugar bulk tastes better than dextrose!). The end result still has calories but because the brown sugar is now very potent, you only need to use 1/5 teaspoon or less to sweeten a portion of food. This equals to about 3 calories or less since it's not even a gram yet. Individual packets of Splenda have about 4 calories so this is a better trade off in the long run. The 1lb brown sugar/sucralose mix you have will last a very long time since you are only using a tiny amount at a time.

I sprinkle a tiny amount on food or drinks I want sweeter. It's cheaper than brand name low-calorie sweeteners in the long run.

Splenda tastes EXACTLY like cane sugar to me.
