I wouldn't mess with it.....there is only 1/3 cup of butter in the whole recipe....that's not a lot.
The "brown" splenda would be fine for the sugar.,
If you add cranberries you are adding a lot more liquid and sour flavor.
I would sub 1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds for the pecans. They aren't nuts but often can substitute for nuts for texture and taste.

Are you talking about adding the dried cranberries? Think they would work well instead of the nuts.

Why not try this one?

Wondering what "lite orange juice" is?

This is from www.floridajuice.com, Linda:

FDOC's gathering information on "low-carb" and "Lite" orange-flavored cocktails

In the next week, the FDOC plans to begin polling consumers to find out whether they are confusing new "low-carb" orange juice cocktails with real, 100 percent pure orange juice.

More than 500 people will be questioned in 10 cities about their knowledge of the new "low-carb" and "lite" orange juice cocktails on the market. The study will also look at how the beverages are presented on retailers' shelves.

The FDOC wants to find out if the drinks have insufficient or misleading labeling.

Many of the juice beverages use colorful pictures of oranges and orange groves despite being comprised of less than 50 percent juice.

One juice cocktail uses green wording on a green background to inform consumers it's an "orange juice beverage" rather than 100 percent juice.

The FDOC also wants to discover whether low-carb juice is cannibalizing sales of 100 percent pure juice.

The FDOC's labeling findings, scheduled to be completed by mid-August, will be shared with the brands and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

So...lite OJ actually has more calories than non "lite"?...lite being OJ diluted with water and stuff?
Never heard of nor have I seen lite orange juice....but then I don't live in a place where oranges grow.

It's a carb thing.
