How the hell do I keep brown sugar from turning into a damn boulder when stored?

[Remodeling Maidiac]

The only thing I use it for is when I make hams but I don't do that very often. As a result everytime I grab it out of the pantry it's a brick. I buy the small boxes but I always end up throwing out a 90% full container.

We use marshmallows, but bread heels work just as well.

He’s not. I would use them as well, but my favorite peanut butter sandwich involves both heels.

I like the heels, too. Sometimes I wish you could buy a whole loaf of heels.

If I buy a box (prefer the bag, if I can find it) after I open it, I tuck it tightly and in the box upside down. Helps keep the air out. With a bag, simple tight twist tie does the trick.

Cookies don’t last long enough in this house to require a container/jar or something to prevent them from getting stale. lol

You can buy storage containers that are designed to keep it soft.
It has a clay puck in the lid to absorb moisture.
They work great!!!
