What is Brown Sugar?

Brown sugar is a type of natural sweetener. It is used in a variety of different things such as in cakes, to sweeten drinks, or even in salad dressings.

Brown sugar is made by mixing white sugar with molasses. This is what gives the brown sugar its distinct brown color.

Brown sugar typically comes in light or dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar contains less molasses than dark brown sugar.

For this recipe, you can use either dark brown sugar or light brown sugar.
