    Wonderful and there are a lot of great variations already posted. Stevia taste AWFUL to me, plus the powder form has been bleached. YES, I use Splenda in moderation (good grief people, lighten up). Other good alternatives to Splenda are evaporated cane sugar, agave, raw honey, pure maple syrup. - 5/30/08

    Very good. Mine didn't get thick enough - I think I was too afraid of burning it, but it still tasted really yummy. I added raisins, vanilla and cinnamon (no butter on top). - 5/29/08

    I used honey (1/4 c--it may have been too much) instead of artificial sweetener and added a little cinnamon. This recipe is really delicious! It could even pass for a hot cereal for breakfast! I really do think the butter adds a fullness to the flavor and texture that it needs to be complete. - 3/6/10

    I plan on making this, but to resolve the sweetner issue, I too dislike the taste of Stevia. I use SomerSweet, which is healthy,(made from beans), and tastes like sugar with no after taste, and has no arsenic (for those opposed to Splenda). - 7/5/09

    I'll try it w/ maybe a quarter cup raisins and 2 or 3 teaspoons real sugar & top it w/ cinnamon. ( I lost my weight w/out using artificial sweeteners. - 5/24/08

    I too made this with cinnamon but used only 1 T. lite marg. It was very good. However, raisins have LOTS of calories, 140 in 1/4 c. so if you put 1 cup in the recipe, the calories really go up, so I skipped it. You can used Sugar Twin brown sugar also for the brown sugar. - 5/24/08

    I think that this recipe has the basis for a lot of potential, but I would change things up a bit by using canned fat free evaporated milk (as it lends most dishes a natural creaminess and would eliminate the need for butter), and definitely add some spices (cinnamon or maybe ginger & citrus peel). - 4/30/08

    Yum! Rice pudding has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. I also added raisins and cinnamon, and ommited the margarine (the rice had margarine in it). I ate it warm w/ a splash of half & half. So good! - 1/21/10

    Added raisins,vanilla and cinnamon.
    First I have heard about arsinic in Splenda. It must be in such a minute amount,if at all, that I'll continue using it with confidence. Splenda has help make my transition in this lifestyle change bareable for the cost. I like the results when baking...Chef Jim

    I think this is a good basic recipe.It is very versatile.I don't use Splenda for health reasons so I would use stevia instead.I would use molasses for brown sugar,add spices,maybe all-spice or apple pie spice, and raisins,or even dried cranberries and substitute rice milk, for the skim milk. - 4/30/08

    Yes, it sounds pretty good and I agree I would leave the butter off particulaly since it is added on top after preparation. Like many others I might add some dried fruit or spices depending on what I feel like that day. Variety always makes things interesting. - 7/6/09

    I use splenda when I need a sweetener and I'm not dead after a year of using it. Some things get blown out of proportion. By all means use what you are comfortable with, but there isn't anything in Splenda that will harm you unless you are one of the few who are reactionary to it. IMHO - 7/5/09

    As a true southerner, I love rice! Can't wait to try it with some fruits,spices,and nuts, though! And probably honey or brown sugar...I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners.I usually use sweetened condensed milk for my rice puddings, with lots of cinnamon and ground clove or pumpkin pie spice. - 7/16/10

    Will try this and will use WALKINGAL suggestions. Instead of
    raisins, I will add Goji berries that have soaked in water and
    plumped up. Great antioxidant! Also use Stevia instead of
    sugar. Natural sweetener, zero calories & use very little amt.
    or can be bitter. SMALL AMT.!!
