Tips for Making Splenda Icing
Make sure the butter is softened before you start mixing. Room temperature butter will be easier to blend than cold butter.
If the icing is too sweet, reduce the amount of Splenda sweetener in the recipe.
If the icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar until it thickens up.
If you want a more vibrant color, add food coloring to the mixture. Gel or paste food coloring works best.
