Bottom Line
The C&H Cane Sugar, Dark Brown, 2lb Bag has been critiqued for its recent change in color and flavor, and its tendency to become hard quickly, leading to usage difficulties. Although the sugar can be easily broken apart for use and performs well in baking, the diminished molasses flavor and packaging issues have left long-time users seeking alternatives. If you're considering a purchase, be mindful of these concerns, or consider making your own brown sugar at home with molasses for a richer flavor and texture.
