1. A process for forming a co-crystallized composition, wherein the process comprises the steps of:

a. mixing a sugar with water with agitation in the presence of a base to form a sugar composition;

b. heating the sugar composition to evaporate at least a portion of the water and form a sugar syrup;

c. incorporating into the sugar syrup a dry powder of a sweetener to form a uniform dispersion, wherein the sweetener is 3-(4-amino-2,2-dioxide-1H-benzo[c][1,2,6]-thiadiazin-5-yloxy)-2′,2′-dimethyl-N-propylpropanamide;

d. removing the uniform dispersion from the heat; and

e. allowing the uniform dispersion to cool with vigorous agitation to form a co-crystallized composition comprising the sugar and the sweetener.
