Cheesecake bars
I pulled this recipe from the Splenda.com website and made it. This was very close to the real thing. I think next time I make it, I will not add the blueberries to the mix or the apricot topping and just have it plain, so I can add sugar-free toppings as I want, like strawberries with Splenda.
