Swerve Sweetener Granular and Confectioners Baker's Bundle - Sugar Substitute, Zero Calorie, Keto Friendly, Zero Sugar, Non-Glycemic, 12oz (2 Pack)

I have used the Powdered Swerve in frostings before at my daughter's recommendation, and was well pleased with the results. When I discovered I was almost out of my Powdered Swerve AND my regular erythritol mix, I started searching and found this pack. I was delighted to find this bundle that includes both powdered and granulated sweetener.In my opinion, Swerve is an excellent substitute for refined sugar. As a sugar alcohol, it is safe for the diabetic in my family and does not spike my glycemic level, yet measures the same as sugar and tastes like sugar. As I have been working on weight loss and healthy eating, this is an integral component that helps keep me from craving off-plan sweets. One comment about the taste/sensation of products like Swerve - you will enjoy them more if you get off of refined sugar, but it isn't required, and any sweetener that contains Erythritol causes some people to experience a slight cooling effect in their mouth when eating it. I actually no longer notice that, and just enjoy the yumminess of my home made treats!When I opened my Amazon box, I thought at first I only had one bag of Swerve in there, but it is shrink wrapped together - the powdered and granulated bags - and arrived undamaged and ready for me to open.When you start using Swerve, I recommend that you try a little less than the amount of sugar in a recipe, and increase it as desired. Sometimes I use less, and sometimes more, but in general, it tends to be pretty much the same measure as sugar. One last thing - unlike products with xylitol in them, Swerve is not toxic to my dog.PROS:Conducive to weight loss and maintenanceDoes not spike your glycemic levelSafe for diabeticsMeasures like sugarTastes like sugar to most peopleHas both powdered and granulated Swerve - one package of each - in this listingNot toxic to my pupCONS:It is more expensive than refined sugars, but I also no longer have to take as many prescriptions to regulate blood pressure, etc having lost over 50 pounds so that part doesn't bother me at allCONCLUSIONS:I wish it were on Subscribe & Save for the convenience, but I'm going to "adult" and keep watch on my pantry so I don't run out... but if I did run out, I know with Prime I can have my cake in a day or two, and it will be worth the wait! (Without the additional *weight*!!!)If you have any questions regarding my review, please do ask, and if my review is helpful to you, please consider letting me know by using the voting buttons at the end of the review.

I love this product I use it for baking. It taste and looks just like brown sugar. I use it as a brown sugar substitute to make Keto cookies and desserts and I don’t see any differences. Good quality and worth the price.

THIS STUFF IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!I had to move to eating a no grain/no to low sugar diet due to some health issues. This stuff is a life saver. Right now, I am eating a New York Style Cheesecake I made yesterday and it is amazing. I am ordering more today. That will be my third time buying this product and many more purchases will follow.I can't stand the aftertaste of stevia products (most of them; some of the liquids are ok but not great). I don't do artificial sweeteners. This is my new sweet love!!!There is some sort of mouth coolness I experience with some of my baked goods, like brownies, but it doesn't bother me at all. I do think that the coolness is less of an issue with foods that are refrigerated rather than those eaten room temperature because you are expecting them to be "cool".I've made the two items above plus cannoli filling, different kinds of pound cake, and other goodies and I am very pleased with each and every end product. I made a cream cheese frosting with the powdered one; delicious! I even created a taste testing for two of my relatives using swerve in one and sugar in the other. One person could not tell the difference, the other actually preferred the item made with Swerve.So, yeah...LOVE it!My health issues are resolving and I get to make a cake and eat it too!

Ok so far I have noticed a few things about Swerve vs. other "non-sugar" sweeteners. I hope you find this review helpful.I am on the Ketogenic diet, which means, among other things, that I cannot eat sugars and carbs. I also am insulin-resistant (/prediabetic) and therefore cannot tolerate sugar the way other people can. So I needed to find something that I could use in place of sugar in recipes, etc.Initially, I bought myself a bag of Truvia. (Mentioning this is to compare Swerve to it.)Truvia is derived from Stevia, which is kind of like a natural sugar, without the sugar.The biggest problem with Truvia is that in baked goods and other recipes, I find that Truvia and other Stevia-based sugar substitutes create this gross "sweet but dull" aftertaste that is just a little sickening to me. So I went online and looked up other possibilities- Swerve was mentioned a lot in various articles and recipes so I wanted to give it a shot.Swerve does have a couple more net carbohydrates (I believe it's 5g vs. 3g?) than Truvia, which is, in my situation, not good, but it is such a small difference that I am more happy for no weird aftertaste.Also, this Swerve stuff is VERY expensive. Far more expensive than Truvia, which I purchased in a local grocery store. Typically I find I get better prices on Amazon.com however in this case it seems like this stuff is just very expensive in general.Hopefully these two bags (I got one confectioner's Swerve and one granulated Swerve in ordering this Bakers Bundle- I see others were complaining they got two of the one or the other but I did not have that problem.) will last longer than I think they do because for what I paid for them they should last a long time. I am concerned they will not go very far. It is nice they have it in a bundle of both ways though, that way for some recipes which call for granulated and others that call for confectioners, you have what you need for either.All in all I believe so far I am satisfied with this purchase, but in the future I hope the price may come down a little bit so I can continue to afford healthy baking habits!
