The stylish Nightfall boot is made with twin-faced sheepskin Uggs Canada and a durable molded rubber outsole. The wrap around lace feature adds a fashionable Ugg Canada Boots touch with wooden beads at the end. A removable and replaceable sheepskin insole Uggs Classic Short gives extra comfort and warmth. A beautiful new version of the classic Sundance boot, the Short Ugg Boots Sale will keep you warm and stylish.

Sorry, Delore - just now seeing your question. Well, it depends on what type you have. If you're using the Stevia in the raw (that comes in the big green bag), you will need quite a bit more because it's fluffed (if that makes any sense). However, if your stevia is pure (no maltodextrin) then about .5 tsp per packet. Hope that helps!

I logged in to check the forums and saw this pic on the front page. I had to comment because these look spectacular! The pic reminds me of the Girl Scout Thin Mints I used to eat when I was younger (and weighed a lot more, heh!) I'm definitely going to try them soon.
