- To the mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar a bit at a time (like in thirds), mixing between the additions. Then stir in the graham cracker crumbs.

There is a misconception that sugar alternatives can be used in a recipe just as you you use sugar.
Everyone knows that a sugar alternative can make something taste sweet to us without have the many effects that sugar does on the body. However, there is more to sugar alternatives then just taste.
Sugar alternatives are not chemically the same as sugar.
That chemical difference can be a big deal when it comes to recipes. There is a lot to learn if you are serious in baking with sugar alternatives. I have more in depth explanations about sugar alternatives in my book, The Sugar Free Baking Guide.
