Question Karen: Splenda Candy Question

Karen,
Do you know if Splenda granular cooks into a syrup or "hard ball stage" the way sugar does? I noticed that when making toffee, all that is required is sugar and butter. I'd like to use Splenda in place of sugar, but I don't know if it would set up and harden. I may get carmels (which are YUM-YUM), I may get toffee, or I may just get a pan of hot, sweet butter! I put in a call to Splenda, but got no reply. I figured if it worked, I could use my unsweetened chocolate mixed w/ Splenda to cover the top and leave the candy in the freezer for a fix.

Thanks for the help!!!!

No, it doesn't but certain sugar alcohols do. The link in this post will take you to candy recipes using maltitol.

Thanks for that link, Karen. Saved me asking about how to make a sugarfree maple flavoured syrup. Would like to try it on the low carb waffles
