How do you make caramel with brown sugar?
These smooth candies are what most people think of when they hear the word "caramel"; Rich with cream, they are great as-is, or even better when dipped in chocolate.
Ingredients:- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- 1-1/3 cups light brown sugar
1. Prepare a small (6x6 inch) square pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine the sugar, cream, butter, vanilla, and 1 TB water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir with a spoon over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter is melted.
3. Bring to boil and cover for 3 minutes.
4. Uncover, but do not stir! Continue boiling until a candy thermometer reads 250 degrees.
5. Pour the caramel into the prepared pan and let it cool down.
6. When it is still slightly wet, score the top into squares, and then leave to harden completely.
7. Once firm, cut into pieces and wrap individually in waxed paper or cling wrap. Candies can be store in an airtight container at room temperature (not refrigerated) for up to one week.
Difference between spun brown sugar and true brown sugar and which is healthier?
Spun sugar is made by heating sugar, water and corn syrup to the hard candy stage and then spinning it by dipping a fork or whisk into it and creating fine threads of sugar. Brown sugar is just regular sugar with molasses added to it. Can't help with which one is healthiest.
Is brown sugar okay to put on your face?
It will not harm you or have any negative effects on your health.
Why does brown sugar turn white while being stored?
If the surrounding air is humid enough, some sugar will dissolve, leaving the dark molasses residue beneath. Drying out later will cause the dissolved purer sugar to crystallize in whiter crystals.
How do you un-rock brown sugar?
One that works is to put dump the bag into a plastic container and smash the container on a hard surface. After this just take a fork and sift the clumps into fine grains.
Can you use brown sugar instead for icing sugar for icing?
Not really; sugars other than powdered do not dissolve when used in a mixture that is not heated (such as icing). If the recipe already involves brown sugar, you can increase the quantity slightly without too many side-effects. However replacing powdered sugar (completely) with brown is likely to yield undesirable results; powdered sugar helps add 'smoothness' to icing, so without this you may end up with a very brown granular icing (that may not set adequately). If the recipe does not call for brown sugar at all, definitely do not add it.

What does it mean to have brown sugar in a human?
To have brown sugar in your body means that if you eat a lot of fat and sugar, you still won't get fat. That means you could eat what you want and would still be thin. To have brown sugar doesn't necessarily mean it good to you, because your body will not store any of the sugar as muscles, and you'd get weaker. There is also white sugar, which is the opposite of brown sugar. With white sugar, you can get fat if you eat a lotta junk food and sugar 'n' fat. The thing is, none of both are necessarily good for you. Either way is fine, as long as ya dont eat too much sugar n fat. I hope i answered ya question... if u have any questions....write a comment and ill see if i can answer :D

Should you use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar when making cheesecake?
If the recipe does not specify the type of sugar, consider whether a stronger caramel flavour (from the darker type of sugar) would affect the taste. If it is a lightly fruit flavoured cheesecake, this may overpower the flavour, but a more strongly flavoured cheesecake may benefit, such as chocolate or raspberry. Either can be used.

What is exactly 'firmly packed brown sugar' which can be found in many recipes?
It is a way to measure the correct amount of sugar. Since brown sugar is kept moist and the water content will vary according to the environmental humidity, it is difficult to measure the exact same amount when fluffy and moist compared to when dry and more compact. So to be sure you are getting a cup each time you want to measure one in different weather and humidity conditions, you use the back of a spoon to press the sugar down into the measuring cup to pack it in and remove all the air trapped by the moisture and be sure the cup measures the same wet or dry to maintain the correct and consistent level of sweetness in the dish.
What happens when water is mixed with brown sugar?
