splenda question

I know it says that you can bake with it like normal sugar, but, I have a couple of recipes that need sugar and water boiled to make a syrup base. Does it work?

I just made frozen fruit cups with the sugar (2 CUPS!!!) and water, but after putting them in recipe calculator, I found out they have 26 grams of sugar (I knew it'd be a lot, but not that much).

Just wondering if I can make them lighter.

    I'm not sure if splenda would work but you could try making them with jello. I used to make frozen Pudding for my kids all the time. Hope this helps good luck.
