Cooking question

[Michie]

Say you need a cup of dark brown sugar, can you use a half cup of light brown sugar and half cup of dark borwn sugar?

I'd go for it. If that's all you have and that's the only thing holding you back from making whatever it is. I don't think substituting 1/2 will make that big of a difference. I typically use whatever sugar I have (and I usually have light)

There isn't a huge difference in light brown and dark brown sugar. You're fine to use either.

I actually use light brown all the time.

Dark brown sugar has more molasses content, which makes it darker. I usually buy dark, but use whatever I have and it doesn't make a huge difference.

Ok! I will give it a shot!!

It's a baked beasn casserole I am cooking if that makes any difference.

It shouldn't make any difference, especially if you're making cookies or something. It just might taste a shade less intense--no biggie.

If you're making some kind of candy with it the difference might be more noticeable.

You shouldn't notice any difference.

Sounds yummy
