Pure Cane
Dark Brown

To create flavor that’s deep, rich, and real, use only C&H Dark Brown Sugar. It’s 100% pure cane sugar and, like golden brown, naturally brown all the way through.

Its natural moistness and deep, rich molasses flavor make it ideal for full-flavored or savory recipes. Use it in brownies, gingerbread, coffee or chocolate cakes, fudge, BBQ sauce, marinades, sweet and sour sauce, and pancake syrups.

Brown cane sugar is a natural combination of sugar and molasses, refined without any added colorings, flavorings or coatings. Formed using the traditional method of crystallization, each C&H brown sugar crystal is brown all the way through. If cane sugar is not specified on the label, the sugar may be beet sugar. What beet sugar makers call "brown sugar" starts out as white sugar crystals that are then sprayed with a brown coating. Often the center of the crystal remains white and the brown molasses coating can be rubbed off in your hands. Not exactly what you want when you go to the effort of baking something fresh from scratch!

Brown Sugars

Storage Tip

Use these two sugars interchangeably in recipes calling for brown sugar. For a delicate, light, nutty caramel flavor, use C&H Golden Brown Sugar. For a rich, old-time molasses taste and deeper color, use C&H Dark Brown sugar. If you’re in doubt or if it’s not specified, you might choose C&H Golden Brown.

To retain moistness, brown sugar is best kept stored away from light and heat in an airtight container. Occasionally, brown sugar will lose its natural moistness and become hard. Even though the shelf life of brown sugar is indefinite, it’s best to use it within six months of purchase for maximum flavor. Don’t store brown sugar in the refrigerator. However, if you are in a very dry area or are going to keep it for a long time, you may want to freeze it.
