Here's some general information about Splenda

SPLENDA*Granular contains maltodextrine and sucralose. Please see the nutritional information below:
Nutrition Information (Serving size 1tsp (5mL/0.5g)

Energy ...................2 calories(8 kj)
Protein.................................0 g
Fat......................................0 g
Carbohydrate.....................0.5 g
Sucralose............................6 mg

SPLENDA* Packets contain dextrose, maltodextrine and sucralose. Please see the nutritional information below:
Nutrition Information (Serving size 1g packet)

Energy................. 4 calories(17 kj)
Protein................................0 g
Fat.....................................0 g
Carbohydrate...................... 1 g
Sucralose..........................12 mg

The packets are the equivalent to 2 tsp. sugar which is why you need more bulk Splenda to sweeten.

The above information is from the Canadian website. Keep in mind that carbohydrates under 1 gram per serving have to be declared in Canada while in the USA carbohydrates under 1 gram per serving can be declared as zero.


Here's some information on using the combination of Canadian Sugar Twin and Splenda
  1. The combination of Canadian Sugar Twin and Splenda work synergistically and you can use much less of the both of them together than you would use if just using one. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of Splenda, you would use 1/4 cup of Splenda and 1/4 cup of Twin for the same sweetening power.
  2. There is no sweetener aftertaste when you use them together.
  3. Twin has only 12 carbs per cup and Splenda has 24.
  4. Twin is a lot cheaper than Splenda, around half the price.
