Do regular grocery stores carry this? I have come across several recipes that call for it, but haven't found it anywhere.

Suggestions?

Karen,

I bought the Brown Sugar Sugar Twin at Whole Foods but I may have seen it at Target Supercenter as well.

They actually had it at Albertson's- only $1.00 a box!

I get brown sugar twin at my Albertson's market, too--- I like it a lot! Usually a low carb/health foods store (if you have one in your area) will carry it. You might also search for it online--- I know a lot of people that have gotten hard to find low carb stuff this way.

Good luck!

Sweet-N-Low also makes a brown sugar sub that's pretty good.

Sweet-n-low and Twin give me a headache, so I haven't tried either of their brown sugar substitutes...does anyone else have the problem, and if so, have you tried the brown sugar sub? I wonder if it would give me the same reaction?

Dr. A mentions in the SBD Cookbook that there is a Splenda liquid brown sugar sub. that you can buy online.

The site that Dr. A mentioned for the Splenda liquid brown sugar is down, but I found this recipe (I'll also post it in the recipe forum):

1 cup SPLENDA� No Calorie Sweetener, Granular
1/4 cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, preferably made with SPLENDA�
