Okay.... here is a SF fudge recipe that DOES set.  The texture is a little funny, but the TASTE is spot on.  Definately worth a try.

1 cup Splenda
1 tbsp corn starch
1 shake of salt (< than a pinch)
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1/3 cup fat free evaporated milk
1 ounce (1 square) of unsweetened chocolate
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp distilled white vinegar

1) Spray small plate with non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.
2) In a bowl, combine Splenda, corn starch & salt.  Mix well.  Set aside.
3) In a saucepan, cook butter until golden brown. 
4) Remove butter from heat.  Stir in Splenda, corn starch & salt mixture.  Mix well. 
5) Stir in evaporated milk & vinegar.  Mix well.  (You may have to use a fork or wisk to ensure it doesn't get or stay lumpy.)
6) Put mixture back over heat.  Heat to boiling.  (This will NOT take long as this is a VERY small-yielding recipe.)
7) Break up unsweetened chocolate into smaller pieces and stir all pieces into sauce pan mixture. 
8) Stir constantly until chocolate is completely melted and mixed.
9) Remove from heat and immediately add vanilla. 
10) Stir vigorously for 30 seconds.
11) Pour entire mixture into the prepared small plate. Spread evenly. 
12) Cover with foil & refrigerate. 
13) Wait at least 1 hour before cutting into pieces.  (Keep covered in foil after cutting.)

This recipe yields a TINY bit more than 5 ounces.  (It weighed in at 5.125 ounces.)

Thanks for posting this!  I have a question  - Step 5 says to stir in evaporated milk and vinegar -but vinegar isn't listed in the ingredients.  How much vinegar?

Thanks again.

The best way to describe the texture is rubbery.  It doesn't TASTE rubbery, but it looks and FEELS rubbery.  It's weird.  (But it tastes good.)
