Splenda is a low calorie sweetener that is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. Splenda is the sweetening ingredient that is already used to sweeten many low calorie foods and beverages. Splenda is now available in two forms -- granular, which measures and pours like sugar, as well as in packets to add to your favorite beverages. Author TigerSmoke MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: November 2003 Location: NC Posts: 1581 Review Date: Mon December 15, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $3.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Tastes like sugar Cons: slight aftertaste (to me at least) The best artificial sweetener, I think. It has a little bit of an aftertaste that I don't taste as much if it has been cooked. kimism MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: January 2004 Location: Tennessee Posts: 1052 Review Date: Thu January 1, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Pros: Taste just like sugar Cons: No aftertaste, to me at least I love this stuff and recommend it to everyone. I can't stand equal, sweet-n-low, etc because of the aftertaste. I have been using this every since the first taste (over a year ago). I recommend it to everyone I know. webvira Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 4 Review Date: Thu January 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $3.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Can us in baking, Tastes great Cons: I haven't tried baking with it yet but I'm eager to do so! I've tried it straight out of the box and it tastes very much like sugar and no aftertaste! My kids tried it and like it too! thegoodgirl Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2003 Location: Washington Posts: 330 Review Date: Fri January 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $6.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: tastes like sugar, easy to bake with, no after taste Cons: cost is higher than regular sugar This is my sweetner of choice. I recently baked a pumpkin pound cake and it turned out lovely. kevandape Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 11 Review Date: Sat January 17, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: GREAT TASTING SUGAR REPLACEMENT Cons: A bit of an aftertaste in some recipes. I exclusively use this in my kitchen. Great product - adds that needed sugar kick to all of your recipes. I've used it as a replacement in all of my recipes and it always works great. I do recommend using a bit less than you normally would, as it is quite sweet. Starshinr Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Minneapolis, MN Posts: 12 Review Date: Sun January 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: works great in cooking Cons: cost This seems to be the product to use when baking, although it takes a bit more than equal amount of sugar to get the same sweetness. Definitely recommend it. Kariann71 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Michigan Posts: 54 Review Date: Thu January 29, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $3.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: taste Cons: price I'm definitely a Splenda fan. To me, it doesn't have the aftertaste that Nutra Sweet and Sweet n Low have. I use it in my desserts, and no one can tell they're sugar free! I especially love making Splenda Jello with homemade whipped cream and Splenda Kool-Aid. In my opinion, Splenda and Stevia liquid are the best sweeteners available on the market today. lotsa Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Western Montana Posts: 1 Review Date: Sun February 15, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Everything Cons: maybe the price-it's a little costly. I've used it for over a year. No after taste in anything to me. Best sweetner on the market! I use it in place of sugar for my family. betsycam71 Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 3 Review Date: Fri February 20, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: Great taste and not bad for you! Cons: Cost I love Splenda. Have been using the packets for over a year. Have also baked with it and it's great. Many more products are being made with Splenda, and hopefully more will be. I love the Diet Rite sodas that are made with Splenda. patio Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Michigan-(Middle of the Mitten) Posts: 74 Review Date: Sun February 29, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: it's sugar free Cons: Icky aftertaste Sorry folks, I've tried and tried to use this stuff but can't get over the aftertaste, it's just pure "ick" to me. I'd rather have no sweetner in my coffee then to use this. The products that I buy with splenda in them are ok, probably because of the other flavors that mask the splenda. binki MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: February 2004 Location: the 6th borough of NYC Posts: 1699 Review Date: Fri March 5, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: tastes pretty darn good Cons: price, availability, carb content I use this in baking and, combined with Erythritol, have made lots of desserts that to me are undetectable in terms of artificial sweeteners. (1 cup sugar in a recipe = 1/2 cup Splenda + 1/4 cup Erythritol = delicious) The big drawbacks to me are 1. the big bag, the equivalent of 5 lbs of sugar, costs 9.99 2. Even for that price, my local markets don't carry them 3. They fluff the Splenda up with other stuff so it isn't quite carb free. Apparently the liquid Splenda is, but we can't get that here. neworleanskitty Blabbermouth!!! Registered: November 2003 Posts: 7318 Review Date: Wed April 14, 2004 Would you recommend the product?

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Works well. Cons: Expensive I just love Splenda. I don't like the aftertaste of Equal or Sweet-n-Low, but Splenda is great. I use it as my sweetener in everything and make Kool-Aid with it too. bablondie25 Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2003 Location: WA state Posts: 39 Review Date: Thu June 3, 2004 Would you recommend the product?
