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.

Why is brown sugar hard and how can it be softened for use in baking or cooking?
Brown sugar hardens due to the moisture content evaporating over time, causing the sugar crystals to stick together. To soften it for use in baking or cooking, you can place a damp paper towel or a slice of bread in the container with the brown sugar and seal it tightly. Alternatively, you can microwave the brown sugar in short intervals with a damp paper towel to help rehydrate it.

Yes, just make sure that you use the total measurement of sugar for both white and brown.
