Anyone seen this product available at some of your local low-carb stores. I've heard about it and wanted to order some.

If you can point me in the right direction, either online or otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen it at Walmart, Safeway and Low Carb Specialty stores in Edmonton. I just saw it today at Safeway!

It's in EVERY grocery store in Ontario. go to the sugar/baking section and look for the artificial sweeteners. You'll find both white and brown Sugar Twin powder, Splenda in bulk and envelopes and all the others.

Sugar Twin boxes are partly bright yellow and rather hard to miss.

To be honest, I thought it was a specialty type product. i've seen the sugar twin in with the splenda and others, but never really looked for the brown sugar twin. I will look this week. Thanks for the help.

Anyone actually tasted this stuff? I have a recipe for BBQ sauce that calls for 3/4 cups of brown sugar and was hoping to use it as a substitute. What do you think?

I've used brown sugar twin as a substitute for regular brown sugar in a rib recipe. worked out quite nice. But, when you try brown sugar twin by itself, it doesn't really taste like regular brown sugar.

I wouldn't use a measure-for-measure amount of the brown Twin to substitute for the sugar in the recipe. I suggest you try ¼ cup each brown SugarTwin plus Splenda. The two sweeteners mixed together will actually boost the sweet taste, so you can use less overall. Most of the sweeteners seem to take on a bitter edge when you use large amounts of any one alone.

About bbq sauce ... real sugar is what gives it the nice gooey sticky glazed quality. You won't get that with artificial sweeteners, unhappily. Try a search in our Kitchen forums .. I do believe there are a few recipes for low-carb bbq sauces which you could try, or they might give ideas how to adapt the recipe you've got.

I use the brown sugar twin in a meat loaf sauce recipe and it works but do use less to begin with, as Doreen suggests. Even alone, it's pretty sweet.

I also use it on my flaxmeal "porridge" with heavy cream and it's great.
