| Making your own brown sugar can definitely be more cost effective than buying brown sugar and the bonus of making your own brown sugar is that it is amazingly simple! Today I’ll show you how to make brown sugar and tomorrow, I’ll show you how to make the Brown Sugar Body Glaze from our Recipes Section.
Collect needed supplies: Recipe: Measure sugar into the mixing bowl. Before measuring the molasses, lightly coat the measuring spoon with the cooking spray or oil. Now measure the molasses and then pour over the sugar in the mixing bowl. Mix well until you can’t see any more clumps of molasses. Now you shouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the brown sugar you just made and brown sugar purchased at the grocery store. Molasses Notes: You can use any molasses you desire. The Grandma’s Unsulphured Original Molasses will create a golden or light brown sugar, while a more robust variety up to blackstrap will create a dark brown sugar. Submit your photos and text for the guest written Embedded Melt & Pour Soap Challenge! Submissions will be accepted through October 18th at blog@thesage.com. The submissions will be released October 19th through October 23rd. Each guest writer will receive a $25 gift certificate.

 The molasses didn't stick to the measuring spoon!  Starting to mix the molasses and sugar together.  A light brown sugar using 1 tablespoon of molasses.  Light brown sugar on the left and dark brown sugar on the right. |

This is so cool! I’ll definitely try it!
