Hi Rachel,
The little packets of Splenda are slightly more concentrated than the loose Splenda in the box. Each little packet of Sweetener (not just Splenda ) is equivalent in sweetness to 2 teaspoons of sugar. So 1 little packet is equivalent to 2 teaspoons of the loose Splenda.
Forget about the weight, because Splenda is a lot lighter than sugar.
Each little packet has 1 carb (very slightly under), and so does 2 teaspoons of the loose Splenda.
If a recipe does call for, say, half a cup of Splenda, you would need 12 little packets.
HTH. Ask again if it's not clear.
