Splenda Conversions

[cruiser gal]

I can't find the info for this question anywhere, I hope someone can help me. Does anyone know how many packets of Splenda is need to make 1 cup of the regular Splenda from the box. I read somewhere that it was 8 packets make up 1 cup, but I don't know if this is correct. Doesn't sound realistic. Any thoughts????

oh darn it...I used to have a little chart saved somewhere that showed that but I can't find it. I'll keep looking though..

FOUND IT!!

Splenda Conversion Chart

1 C = 16 T = 48 tsp = 24 packets
3/4 C = 12 T = 36 tsp = 18 packets
1/2 C = 8 T = 24 tsp = 12 packets
1/3 C = 5.3T = 16 tsp = 8 packets
1/4 C = 4T = 12 tsp = 6 packets
1/8 C = 2T = 6 tsp = 3 packets
1T = 3 tsp = 1.5 packet

Re: Splenda Conversions

Another interesting fact about measuring splenda that I found out yesterday is that according to Dana Carpender the packets of splenda are more 'concentrated' than that in the jars of granulated splenda we can buy in supermarkets.
This is why one packet is counted as 2 teaspoonsworths of the 'jar' splenda even though it is much less in bulk.
