Is there a way to make powdered "sugar" from Splenda?
I'm away from my blender or I'd try it myself!
Thanks!

Re: Powdered "Sugar" from Splenda?
I've never tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you don't need a lot of it, I might try a small coffee grinder, or even by hand with a mortar and pestle. Splenda seems like pretty light, fluffy stuff, so if you put it in a blender or regular food processor, you might get an airborne mess! But a coffee grinder is more tightly enclosed. I often put a spoonful of sea salt and some garlic salt or dried herbs in a small, marble mortar, and grind it down fine for using on popcorn. Works great!
Hope you enjoy the results!

Sweetpea, thanks for asking this question. Terri, thanks for the tip.
I was thinking of different ways of topping my LDL Gingerbread Brownies with something new just the other day when I made them. But, I am going to try grinding Truvia in my small coffee grinder because it is a lot more grandular than Splenda (I have both types of sugar in my cupboard).
