I'm seeing the fix where you put it in a ziplock bag with a slice of bread-but it doesn't say for how long ?

If you realize at the last minute that your brown sugar has hardened, heat must be applied to soften it. The microwave on low power does the job in a minute or two, but can be difficult to control. The sugar can melt in some spots and remain lumpy in others. We found a 250-degree oven to be more reliable. Placing a measuring cup full of water in the oven to add moisture, a step recommended on some brown sugar packages, was found to be unnecessary in our tests.

After the sugar is hard, you can soften it by placing a cup of sugar in a covered dish in the microwave and heating for 30 seconds or so. You may need to heat it more than once, but watch to see that it doesn’t start to melt. You can also heat the brown sugar on a metal pan in a regular oven at 250°F (120°C) for five minutes or so.

I had that same problem when I tried to make Christmas cookies. The box told me to put the sugar in a microwave bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Use the sugar immediately.

place a slice of apple in the bag. The brown sugar will absorb the moisture of the apple and then you can use the brown sugar.

put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. That should soften it up enough to break it apart.
