Cohesive non-free flowing sweetener compositions for adding sweetness to liquid foodstuffs, for example, beverages, having a reduced caloric burden as compared to a conventional sucrose cubes, are provided. More particularly, a cohesive non-free flowing compositions containing a high intensity sweetener, a bulking agent, and a gluing agent in a sufficient quantity to maintain the structural integrity of the sweetener cube, wherein the cohesive non-free flowing compositions has lower caloric burden and an equivalent sweetness to a sucrose cube of the same dimensions and the bulking agent and gluing agent are different substances. Also provided are cohesive non-free flowing sweetener compositions containing sucralose, polydextrose, erythritol, lactose, and trehalose, wherein the cohesive non-free flowing sweetener compositions have a caloric burden of 2, 3, or 4 kilocalories per cube and a sweetness equivalent to about one teaspoon of sucrose. Methods of making such low-calorie cohesive non-free flowing sweetener compositions are also provided.
