How to Soften Brown Sugar Immediately

ingredients
directions
- Place brown sugar into a bowl and place in microwave.
- Fill another bowl with water and place in microwave with brown sugar.
- Microwave for 1 minute and check brown sugar. If it is still hard, try it for 30 seconds longer.
- I actually softened my entire bag of brown sugar at one time and continued this method until it was softened. It took several minutes, and I broke it apart with my hands toward the end.
- If you are concerned about burning yourself with boiling water that explodes, throw a few toothpicks in your water to break the surface and allow the water to boil properly. (I did not try this method because I never think this way--that's why my nickname is Runs with Scissors). After I did this I read that water can be superheated and explode.

I was in the middle of making oatmeal cookies and my brown sugar was hard, I tried this and it really works. Took me about 5 min to soften a cup of brown sugar. It was soft enough to crumble with my fingers. I will not forget this one. I did put the toothpicks in the water and all was okay. Thanks AmyZoe,

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
