Convenient size snd appealing appearance! Works great to keep brown sugar from drying out and getting hard.

Works great - I soaked it and put it in with my brown sugar that was already hard and it worked great to soften it. I am sure it will do well to keep my brown sugar soft and ready to use for baking. The bee design just makes me smile.

I'm not totally sold on this product. I think it works okay. My brown sugar, that I use maybe once a month, is scoopable, but with effort. It's not hard as a rock.

I was having issues with my brown sugar getting hard, so took a chance on this item. I figured even it was a bust, I wasn't out too much. Well, I was pleasantly surprised--it works! You soak the disk in water, then add it to your brown sugar container, in my case, a sealed plastic container with a lid. And what do you know? It really works to keep my sugar just the right consistency, and no hard chunks any more. This is a simple, easy to use, and inexpensive solution to an annoying problem that really works!

I’ve had it in my brown sugar for about a week now and so far so good. My brown sugar hasn’t harmed what so ever. And it’s cute? For that price? I’ll definitely buy again if needed

This item is fantastic!! I used as directed and it softened a bag of hardened brown sugar within a day or so. The brown sugar was as soft as it should be coming out of a brand new bag!

I keep my brown sugar in a Tupperware container and this work great!!! super easy to use and lasts a few months even in desert climates
