Splenda does have a version of the product specifically for cooking - it seems to have a lot of 'filler' to get it to the similar consistency and volume of regular sugar (1 cup of sugar being as sweet as 1 cup of the cooking Splenda). That being said, it's best to just avoid the stuff when you can. I've found eating things with tons of Splenda in it can be pretty gross - I experimented with it a bit years ago when I first started going low carb and had bad sugar cravings, but wouldn't touch that stuff nowadays.

Yes, I just eat things with normal sugar if I want something sweet. But apparently the commenter I replied to had not considered the potential differences between the substitutes, so I pointed out a way forward. I was confused about sucralose though, I hadn't realized that it required fillers to use as a 1:1 substitute. The fillers also apparently are not very hydroscopic (which is a major role that sugar plays in baking, in addition to being sweet).
