Splenda Sugar Blend is a mix of Splenda sweetener and traditional sugar. It provides all of the sweetness of traditional sugar with fewer calories and carbohydrates. Splenda Sugar Blend is an alternative to both refined sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Splenda Sugar Blend

According to the official Splenda website, 1/2 tsp. of Splenda Sugar Blend contains about 10 calories. Since there are 24 teaspoons in 1/2 cup, 1/2 cup of Splenda Sugar Blend contains about 480 calories.

Splenda Brown Sugar Blend

Splenda's Brown Sugar Blend also contains 10 calories per teaspoon for a total of 480 calories per 1/2 cup.

Replacing Sugar

When substituting Splenda Sugar Blend for traditional sugar, you need less Splenda than you would traditional sugar. For example, 1/4 cup of white sugar can be replaced with 1/8 cup of Splenda Sugar Blend. 1/3 cup of sugar can be replaced with 8 tsp. of Splenda Sugar Blend. As a general rule, you need about half the amount of Splenda Sugar Blend to accomplish the same sweetening effect as real sugar.
