splenda question

I have a recipe which call for 3 packets of splenda, but all I have is the box of splenda. Does anyone know how to convert the packets into tablespoons or whatever is would equal?

Is it the granulated splenda that you have??? if so each packet of splenda is equivalent of 2 teaspoons of the granulated. HTH

I believe, someone out there can correct me if I'm wrong, that 24 packets is equal to one cup. I had a recipe that called for 1/3 cup Splenda, so I used 8 packets. Good luck on your LC journey!!!

EDIT: Mrs. Eldon, I think you would use 6 teaspoons of the granulated, pourable stuff to equal 3 packets of Splenda.

They're right...I just poured out my pkt of Splenda and it took 2 to make 1 tsp.

Paradise, nice to see you again. Congrats on your weightloss. You seem to be so successful! The measurement you gave reminds me of when my daughter and I painstakingly measured 27 stinkin' pkts of Splenda just to equal 1/3 cup. That was in the days before we found the pourable. My, my. What we won't do for the choc pnut butter cups, eh?
Keep up the good work, Paradise!
