Here is my tip for keeping brown sugar moist. Use marshmallows! You can use bread, but bread gets moldy and then you have to replace it. Not so with marshmallows!

I will have to try this but I bake a lot so my brown sugar seldom has time to get hard. :)
Love your tip because I don't use brown sugar often and get frustrated trying to soften it before using when I need it! Think I'll use mini marshmallows because I am sure they will soak up some of that lovely brown sugar taste and would be a nice treat to steal a couple to munch on.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Good tip!
LisaE2, do you have any recipes using brown sugar that you'd like to share? :-)
This is definitely the best method to soften rock-hard brown sugar. I just put a couple of jumbo marshmallows in the sugar bag and in a day or so, it was soft - like it had never hardened.
As soon as you've finished using your brown sugar and there is some left, moisten a paper towel, squeeze out most of the water, toss in the bag (still in a ball shape from squeezing it) and securely close the bag with a twist tie. Your sugar will be soft the next time you use it, no matter how long it has been shelved.
