OH just came home with some splenda tablets.

Can we use them? Strange as it says that they are actually made from sugar. Please have a look ot the link

I think the basic rule is that you cannot have "spoonable" sweeteners ..... but I may be remembering wrong. It never applied to me as I have never had sweeteners of any kind in anything, so I didn't really take proper note

Yeah, I don't really get that. Why not 'spoonable'? What's the dif?

 

[SteveM]

No idea. Maybe because you can have a "heaped" spoon, but not a "heaped" Sweetex ....

Probably something to do with exact measures as well as what is in the bullets as opposed to sugar.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's something to do with the amount of carbs?

Stick to the rule that you can have the tablets but not spoonable ones and you won't go wrong!

spoonable powders, contain sugar in them in some form or other in order to make them spoonable.

The spoonable Splenda is designed for use in baking, it has 1/10th the calories of sugar so is not calorie free like tablet sweeteners. This might be so it can still work like real sugar, it makes meringue and suchlike which a tablet or liquid sweetener wouldn't do properly.

yeah....for some reason I thought it must be to do with the extra stuff they put in to make it all fluffy?? don't like extra fluff me!!!
