Hopefully someone here can help as my internet search as proved fruitless.

I have found a recipe for low carb oat and raisin cookies but it requires 5 sachets (1 gram) of acesulfame K (I think that is how it is spelt). I have a tub of Canderel green, labled Stevia which I believe unlike the Canderel red I normally use in coffee is suitable for baking. What I can't find is how much Canderel green would equal 5 sachets of acesulfame K, can I assume that one sachet of one would equal one teaspoon of the other.

Tbh, I find the best way is to dip a finger in and taste!! If the mix tastes nice.. No more sweetener! If it doesn't add some more. Stevia is much sweeter than the majority of other sweeteners.

Thanks for the reply, I guess it will be trial and error, i'll just have to be careful that I don't end up eating too many 'trial' ones.

I prefer to eat the mixed up ingredients to the when they are baked!! Think that stems back to childhood when my mum and dad made all the food and being a waste not, want not family we got to lick the bowls!! Still do it now.
Good chef's always taste as they make don't they? Thats my excuse nowadays!!
