The Worst Stevia Blend--Of Many--That I've Tried
I have tried many blends and most had erythritol. I first tried this to lightly sweeten yogurt and it was fine. But when I baked with it, it was terrible. My body treated it like poison, the reaction was so bad. The aftertaste/cooling effect was VERY strong to me and within minutes I felt sick and ready to vomit. The cooling feeling is lingering in my chest and I can't make it go away. I have never experienced anything close to this after consuming erythritol and even though some other brands also had a cooling effect it was very mild. I used it cup for cup as it's marketed that way but do not do that because it is so disgustingly sweet. I will say it is "granular" and bakes pretty close to sugar (not quite though.. it doesn't seems to absorb liquid as hydroscopic) and may be fine in something that isn't baked like ice cream, yogurt or a drink. Honestly, this should not be marketed as a baking blend because the aftertaste and cooling effect is way too strong. I am upset they marketed it that way because now I just have to use it for non-baked things which defeats the purpose (since I have many other ones already). I have to agree with the reviewer below that I had an extreme allergic reaction because I did too.

Needs high temperatures
I baked two batches of cookies one at 350 F the other at 375 F. The 350 F. Batch was gritty like the sweetener did not melt.

Excellent taste -- just like granulated sugar
This is exactly what I wanted. Tastes great and works just like sugar. The only thing is that it is expensive. But, if you want to stay away from sugars, this is worth the price. Warning: Be careful if pouring it from bag as it will dust the air --- don't breathe it.

Better than Sugar - Indeed!
I have been on a Keto/Low Carb diet for a year. I have lost 27 pounds. At times I still want something sweet. This product is amazing. When I made chocolate chip cookies, using almond flour, Lily's chocolate chips, and normal Stevia or other natural sweeteners the cookies always tasted weird, and my kids would never eat them. When I used this product, the cookies tasted amazing and my kids not on a Keto diet kept taking "my cookies!!" I have already gone through two bags. I hope they come out with a larger size soon.

Disgusting
I was very excited to try this. It was recommended by someone’s website that posts sugar-free recipes. I always use liquid Stevia or powdered Truvia. I really like the Truvia because it is Stevia mixed with erythritol and it tastes good but it’s not the right consistency for baking because it doesn’t dissolve very well. This Better Than Sugar product tastes like erythritol and gives me that cooling feeling in my mouth which I hate from erythritol. This was definitely a big waste of money

Awful, just awful
Finally received this product and couldn't be more disappointed.. It has ZERO flavor, I put two heaping teaspoons into an 8oz cup of coffee and could barely detect any sweetness, I don't even know how that's possible considering how sweet stevia is.. I wouldn't take a free years supply of this garbage.

Great taste!!
I like the fact it has no aftertaste. It does very well with baking foods where it's needed. However I wish it came in a bigger package. I bought 2 and it still didn't fill up my plastic honey jar.

It is better than suger!
This is the BEST suger substitute hands down with non of that terrible after taste. It’s all I use.
