I use a sugar keeper and have several of them. Here are some other options!http://startcooking.com/how-to-store-brown-sugarhttps://www.thekitchn.com/pantry-problem-solving-how-to-118215https://m.wikihow.com/Keep-Brown-Sugar-Soft -

A slice of bread. I store mine in the same bag I bought it in inside a plastic canister and never have a problem with hard brown sugar -

Amazon has a "Brown Sugar Bear" for around $4. It works. -

I put mine in a zip lock bag and place it in the fridge. It's always soft. -

Like Annetta, I've always used a slice of bread. I have mine in a Tupperware container. I just put the bread on top. Works perfectly. It also works to soften cookies that contain brown sugar if they get a bit hard. -

Like Annetta and Linda I also use a slice of bread. If it does get hard a few seconds in the microwave and it softens up. -

Use the canisters that have rubber seals, it keeps my brown sugar just right. -

I have heard a piece of white bread in the canister......always keep my brown sugar in an air-tight container and have no problem.
