Is somersweet avaiable in a brown sugar product?
[Reply]
No. In order for it to be brown it would have to have molasses added to it. That makes it have sugar in it. You could try doing it yourself. It would be a lot less sugar content than if you had just white sugar and molasses (which is what brown sugar is).

I love SomerSweet. I haven’t had any trouble getting it until recently and my husband and I find the taste far superior to any other sugar substitute on the market. We have tried a lot of them. It does caramelize well and I cook with it a lot too. I buy it in bulk. I give it a hearty thumbs up!!!
