Substitution
When substituting SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend for brown sugar in recipes, use half the amount of SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend as you would sugar. One-half cup SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend equals 1 cup of brown sugar in sweetness.

Chocolate or butter
When combining SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend into melted chocolate or butter, a few teaspoons of milk will help maintain a smooth texture.

Cakes
Combine all dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Cut the fat into the dry ingredients before adding the liquid ingredients. This will reduce the amount and appearance of air tunnels found in the cake after baking. Also, when baking cakes, switching from 9" round pans to 8" round pans with 2" sides will help achieve a better rise.

Yeast breads
Yeast breads rise well with SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend. There is enough sugar present to feed the yeast, hasten fermentation and aid in the browning of the bread.

Caramel Sauces
When heating SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend alone to melt or caramelize, it will dissolve more readily with the addition of a small amount of water. Saucepan caramelization happens more quickly with this product compared to pure sugar, so watch the process carefully so that it doesn't overheat or burn.

Cookies and spread
Cookies may spread less when using SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend. To help achieve a better spread, you may press and flatten the dough gently with fingertips or fork.

Storage
Baked goods made with SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend will stay fresh for 24 hours, when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you wish to keep your baked goods longer, wrap well and freeze.
