I have tried Brown Sugar Twin in the past. If you can get beyond that Sugar Twin aftertaste, it serves the purpose.

Use the brown sugar twin and Example: where your recipe calls for 1/2 cup of brown sugar use this: use 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar twin. That way you get the great carmel color and the sweetness is not lost..

I think the the best choice for a brown sugar sub is Brown SugarLike. Contact Bateman's Products, Inc. 251 W. Main St., Rigby, Idaho 83442, (208)745-9033. Their white sugar is awesome also. It's 7 calories per teaspoon but it tastes great, looks and acts like the real thing and it doesn't break down in cooking like equal etc. They make it in a syrup as well as granulated. I use all sugar produts very sparingly but this product is a winner!

Hi, I use a product called "Sugar Twin" -spoonable- Brown sugar replacement. It is made by Alberto-Culver USA Inc. Melrose Park, Il 60160 I use it to make cookies all of the time as my husband is Diabetic and now that I had RNY I cannot eat sugar. It is really pretty good. Sweet and Low also makes a Brown sugar substitute. Hope this helps. Cheri

Try using Date Sugar. You can find this at the health food store. I have used in baking, and it tastes great. :) Krista Cochran 08/18/99 pre-op: 340 pdsToday: 221 pds [email protected]

Really? Interesting. I've never noticed the aftertaste to Sugar Twin, I love it! Tastes so much better than Equal or anything else.

I like sweetnlow brown. 1/4 cup sugar=2teaspoons sweetnlow brown. It is good and easily found in most grocery stores with the other sweetnlow.

I use Splenda with a tiny bit of molasses added. 1 cup SPlenda and 1/4-1/2 teas. molasses. I did the same thing with sugar *before* surgery - it's a common sub for brown sugar.
