sugared nuts

[artgirl7]

I saw this recipe for sugared pecans with brown sugar, vanilla and egg whites.

I was thinking of substiting the BS with Spendla, think it will still be good?

There's a Brown Sugar Twin sold in the stores.

Really??? I never heard of it? Is it much like splenda?

Thanks for the info!

I've attempted to use Brown sugar Twin and wasn't pleased with the results. I thought it tasted kinda....ack. I have (infrequently) used the brown sugar splenda blend and find that it does a lot better in cooking. If the recipe requires the nuts to carmelize (as sugar would carmelize), then the BS twin is not going to work. The BS splenda might not work all the way, but it would do better, since it is half sugar.

Woo! I didn't know there was a brown sugar splenda!

Never tried the BS Splenda either. Boy, I need to check out that isle more often. I use Splenda so little, that I still have the original box of packets in pantry since I started a year and a half ago. I just really stayed clear of it.

Thanks for the tips though!

Do yourself a favor and just stay away from them. There is nothing like the original, THEY ARE SOOO GOOD.

Splenda, true Splenda ( that is why they now add real not for Atkins folk sugar for baking in the Splenda for baking) will not crystalize like sugar so you will not get the nuts you know.

You can mix your nuts with cinnamon and splenda and get a flavored nut or you can use spices like chili powder or hot pepper or even garlic on your nuts as a flavored snack.

Brown Sugar Splenda is a blend of Splenda and regular Brown Sugar.

Thanks for the tips, which I read this morning.

I tried the nuts last night and they were okay, nothing like I remembered. I think the garlic idea would be great! Thanks for the ideas!
