What is a Brown Sugar Bear?<\/h2>\r\n

The Brown Sugar Bear<\/a> works two ways. When soaked, it adds moisture to brown sugar and other baking ingredients<\/a> to prevent them from becoming solid and unusable. When dry, it absorbs moisture to keep pretzels, crackers and chips moisture-free and fresh.<\/p>\r\n

It's made from food-safe fired clay, and is also available in cute gingerbread or maple leaf shapes if a teddy bear isn't your style. The tiny tool is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and slips easily into a jar or bag of sugar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
