There are two almost universal truths about summer: the first is that it is hot and the second is that it is more or less swimsuit season so at least some of us are pretending to diet. What makes this recipe from Splenda special is not only are the mini cupcakes delicious, but they are frozen (taking care of the heat thing) AND made with Splenda so they are low sugar (taking care of the pretend diet thing). So there ya go, no excuses to NOT eat one. Or two.
