Hi! PJ, I made this recipe twice now. First time last night and it came out bad, I think it had to do with the fact that I used Splenda. Tonight I made my second batch but I had a hard time in melting the sugar. Is there a special trick on how to do this? My brownies turn out okey but still did not have that shiny top. Help! Sorry this recipe hasn't worked for you yet. For tips on baking with Splenda, check the blog under Searching For Sweetness for lots of tips about baking with this sugar substitute. About the melting sugar,we suspect different microwaves or wattages may affect the melting sugar.....watch your product and try to match up your results to the pictures or descriptions on the blog. Remember there are 2 steps to the melting butter/sugar, first to melt and stir to combine, then heat again until it just bubbles. This takes some attention - can't walk off to start the next step until this one is done! Irene at KAF
