How Can I Make Brown Sugar With White Sugar & Molassas?

Homemade brown sugar can save you money.

White sugar and brown sugar have entirely different tastes and are used in different dishes. Brown sugar itself is typically more expensive to buy than white sugar, but it's not difficult to make your own brown sugar from white sugar and molasses and save some hard earned cash.

Things You'll Need

• Granulated white sugar
