  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.
That's the scoop!

Karen, thank you. I will be trying to adapt some of my favorite recipes this way soon. Let me try to understand:

Ok, so the point of combining the AS is to eliminate aftertaste? So using all Sugar Twin would carry it's own aftertaste too? And if I do the math correctly, the ST is 3x sweeter than the Splenda by volume, so would a good general procedure be to calculate the amount of Splenda needed (same volume as sugar I thought) then use 1/4 spenda and same amount of ST? Does this work for all cooked/baked recipes the same as sugar?

sorry for so many questions, thanks for all of your help!
