Pure Dark Muscovado Sugar, All-Natural Gourmet Sweetener for Coffee, Tea, and Baking , 3.0 Lb Canister (Pack of 1)

Soooo good. You can’t find this easily at the markets. Adds a whole new dimension to chocolate chip cookies

I've made chocolate chip cookies for decades. You know the recipe from that brand of chocolate chips. I wanted to make cookies, didn't have my usual brown sugar but I did have this fancy sugar so I used it in the cookies and took them into work. I had people chase me down for the recipe. This was the only thing that was different and it made a huge difference. Not the cheapest thing in the world but when you want your recipe to taste very special with extras layers of flavor, this muscovado sugar is it.

There is no better dark sugar on the planet. Use for cookie recipes, oatmeal topping, syrups. One must take extra steps to preserve freshness if not used somewhat in bulk and quickly. Cannot recommend more highly.

I wanted an unrefined sugar for my strong coffee. This stuff is the bomb. I feel it's overpriced but it's very very good with coffee. All natural and unrefined. Nothing better to sweeten coffee.

I love this sugar for Ginger cookies and sticky buns. I bought this particular item, though, because of the nice jar it came in. Sadly, I couldn't get the jar open. I tried the hot water trick, the knife tap trick, anti-slip jar opening devices and, I'm embarrassed to say, the gentleman who lives next door. The jar simply would not open. In the end, I used kitchen shears to cut through the side of the jar and transferred the sugar to a different container. So, if you like dark, dark brown sugar, by all means, buy India Tree Dark Muscovado. It's fantastic! But, buy it in the standard packaging, and don't waste your money on the jar.

Finally I've found a vendor that supplies this product in an airtight container! This sugar is my absolute favorite ingredient for baking biscotti. Unfortunately this delicious sugar can harden significantly in a few weeks when left in its original plastic, transparent, wrapping. Now I don't have to worry about any future storage issues!

Grown and milled off the coast of Africa, if unfamiliar with the product, Moscovado is s partially refined sugar with high molasses content. I use it as a substitute for light brown sugar, but mostly wherever dark brown sugar is normally used.It is exceptional in ginger cookies which are always better when augmented with bits of candied ginger, and is an excellent addition to chocolate chip, gingerbread, chocolate, pumpkin and even peanut butter cookies along with similarly flavored cakes and muffins. It is best in baked goods with strong flavors or it may overpower something subtle like a butter cookie. It is also delicious as a sweetener for coffee.The texture is slightly moister than standard brown sugar, but not to the degree that liquids in a recipe needed to be adjusted. If familiar with molasses this is bordering on the deepest blackstrap variety where it is a little less sweet and has an almost slightly burnt sugar flavor. Infinitely more complex than regular or light brown sugar, and far exceeds regular dark brown sugar with greater intensity and depth.Just like regular brown sugar, if not kept air-tight the sugar can harden. This is easy to remedy by using a brown sugar saver or one of the usual solutions (search internet) like a slice of apple, etc. to keep it moist. Because of its cost, it is usually a once-a-year indulgence reserved for special baking, like the holidays. Shelf stable, the tub I purchased in my prime pantry box has a “best by” date 34 months in the future.

Thank you!
