Elena's comment: Thanks for the great recipe, Bill! For anyone who wants to use something other than Splenda for sweetening, I think you could substitute something like xylitol or erythritol measure-for-measure. And glycerin could be a naturally sugar-free liquid sweetener alternative to an artificially sweetened syrup.

Happy baking, everyone!
