Baking with Splenda or other fake sugars

Does anyone have recipes or a formula to substitute? Thanks.

Actually I think there's a 1:1 conversion for splenda... let me check my bag.

Yep, 1:1 conversion. I've got a bag of Splenda I use for cooking... usually for applesauce. Works well.

lady is right, much info and recipes on splendia.com

also use the exchanges on package and your imagination for baking. should not use if sugar is for volume but when sugar is the source of sweet.

I agree with the others on 1:1. INteresting note is that even though it is made from sugar, it will not proof yeast.

The reason it won't proof yeast probably has to do with the three chlorine atoms in it's molecular structure.
