yes but you must use twice as much Splenda than sugar here is a recepie i use all the time
2 cups water
8 cups sugar
3 pieces of string 6 inches long
food coloring
candy flavoring
Instructions:
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of splenda, stirring until dissolved. Slowly add the remaining splenda, reheating the water if necessary.
When all the sugar has dissolved, pour the mixture into 3 heat proof jars or glasses. Stir 3 drops of liquid food color and 1/2 t. of flavoring into each jars.
Tie a piece of string around a pencil. Lay the pencil over the rim of the jar so that the string is dangling in the glass, into the liquid.
Crystals will begin to form in a hour and continue for several days.
If a layer forms on the surface of the jar, break it. When the liquid has evaporated completely the candy is ready.
yes and it will still taste delightful!!!:)
No. Rock crystals will still form, but the flavor will be more complex if you use brown sugar than cane sugar.
Generally, yes.
Yes.
yes
yes you can
do sugar crystals form on straws
they use sugar
In semiprecious stones like rubies and emeralds the amount of chlorine colors them. When you make sugar crystals you can use food coloring.
Yes, just make sure that you use the total measurement of sugar for both white and brown. Both white and brown sugars can be used interchangeably with each other without affecting the sweetness of the cookie. However, each sugar does effect the texture. More brown sugar will make a moister, chewier cookie.
You will be aggravated by the difficulty in getting good crystals to grow if you use table salt. If you can get hold of some alum or copper (II) sulfate, both of those salts grow crystals well.
Either is fine but i suggest brown sugar because of the consistency.
if you really really really just HAVE to use a substitute, icing sugar or brown sugar may work, depending on what you are making.hope that helps.You can use honey. I use honey instead of sugar to make corn bread. I also put it spaghetti sauce, fruit bowls, and coffee, and oatmeal. You can use it to make a great syrup for canning fruit. You can also use the various brands of prepared stevia crystals. Honey is way more expensive than sugar, so you're not as prone to use as much of it as often, which, to quote Martha Stewart, "is a good thing."
It is unusual for crystals to form on paper clips. Possibly if you use them to stir your coffee you might get sugar crystals.
It depends if you are making sugar crystals or salt crystals. Go to chemistry.about.com/od/growingcrystals/ht/saltcrystals.htm
yes, i have made these crystals with sugar also.
Yes you can. For a cup of light brown sugar you can use dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. You should use 1/2 cup dark brown and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. This will equal 1 cup light brown sugar.
1 tea spoon of sugar per 4 person serving ( I prefer to use brown sugar or palm sugar to sweeten dishes)
