Thanks a bunch for the recipe! I've been wondering if there were more

nutritionally friendly desert recipes around.

This looks NUMMY! Can I just ask, how much is in a packet of

Splenda? I'd like to substitute it with Stevia (herbal sweetener),

and I've never seen splenda packets to check the amount.

Also, may I have the URL of your website? If this works out as

yummy as it sounds, I'd like to share it with friends, and always

like to credit the inventor!

,

I'm not sure how much is in a single packet of Splenda, but one packet

is equivalent to 2 teaspoons of regular sugar, so I'd just put in an

amount of Stevia equivalent to 10 teaspoons of sugar.

My website is at http://maggiewang.com (I know...so original, hah!)

Let me know how the bars turn out for you!
