Can Pampered Chef Recipes Use Splenda for Diabetic-Friendly Chocolate Treats?

[soulsing]

Anyone know of any pampered chef chocolate recipes where Splenda could be substituted and it still turn out delicious? I have a customer who is diabetic and wants to do something chocolaty for valentines day and was looking for some ideas from me. I never tried any of our recipes with Splenda, so I have no clue how it would affect the taste and texture of our recipes. Any thoughts or ideas I could give her?
