Sugar Saga

So the brown sugar kept going hard. I know the trick - an apple slice in the bag and your sugar is nice and soft again. Well, it just wouldn't last. And wouldn't you know, it turned out there was a hole in the bag. Now what to do with a partial bag of solid, and I mean rock solid, brown sugar? You make Butterscotch Brownies (aka Blondies)!  I figured since you use melted butter to melt the brown sugar, it would work... and it did. We ate the whole pan in less than 24 hours.
