You have probably heard of several cooking tips on how to make brown sugar soft again. Well here is one that I like: Put a slice of bread in the package and seal tightly. The sugar will absorb the moisture from the bread and soften up after a few hours or overnight.

A little side note:
I just want to acknowledge a couple of awards that I received this past week. The first one is from Rebecca from Chow and Chatter. Thank you very much for the award. Special shoutout to her today. Please check her blog out.
The second one is from Heavenly Housewife from Donuts to Delirium: My Life As A Housewife. Special shoutout to her today as well.
The rules of this award is that I pass it along to ten blogs that I have recently discovered. Then, those recipients should do the same.
So here is the ten:

Great tip for the brown sugar! I don't use it often (not big into sweets), but it sure would be nice to have it be soft and easy to measure when I do need it.
Thanks for the tip and thanks also for sharing your blog discoveries. Always great to find more great food writers/lovers/eaters.
The bread thing also works amazingly well with stale dry cookies. Great tip and thanks for sharing.
I've heard that the bread tip also works to keep cookies soft! Didn't realize you could do it for brown sugar too.
Hope you are having a lovely Memorial Day weekend! :)
Jen: Now you know!
Chris: Ya, it'll definitely help for measuring.
Cucinista: You're welcome.

Hey-thanks a ton!! I almost missed this post-gosh,I'm honored!!
Sweta: You're welcome. =)
Congratulations on your awards!
I used to put slices of bread when I mailed out cookies to keep them soft but I will definitely use this idea to revive my sugars (nothing is more exasperating that having to massage a bag of hardened brown sugar).
