Instructions
- Place the hard and lumpy brown sugar in a glass, microwave-safe, container. I used a glass measuring cup.
- Next, dampen a paper towel with water. I wet my towel and then squeezed it out. You want it damp but not soggy.
- Place the dampened paper towel directly on top of the brown sugar.
- Cover your bowl with a lid or plate that is microwave-safe.
- Place your covered glass container in the microwave on high for 20 seconds.
- Remove from microwave and stir with a fork breaking up the brown sugar chunks. This will not be hard to do as they are now soft chunks, not hard.
- If necessary, repeat the cycle until all of the large, hard chunks are gone. I had to do this 3 times for my bag of brown sugar but it worked great and was so worth it.
