I made a jar of brownie mix as a gift last Christmas. I've made several and they come out great. This particular jar was just discovered in the back of the cabinet just now. I decided to try it rather than chuck it. The walnuts were layered on top and tasted just fine. The brown sugar layer was not quite concrete yet, but did require some chiseling. Everything else seemed OK.
I tried to dissolve the chunks of brown sugar in the eggs and vanilla, which sort of worked but I whipped them to almost a mousse consistancy while trying. Then I added everything else and tried to make sure it was mixed well. I pretty much obliterated the walnuts. When I spread the mix in the pan.....I had small hard peices of brown sugar still.
It's cooking now......any guesses? Trash or food?

Edit:
Thanks guys. The brownies were sort of good. I was surprised there were no chunks of brown sugar, but the flavor was a little bit "off". I can't describe it but it reminds me of my closet or old cereal. They're sweet and chocolatey so that makes up for it, but I wouldn't enter them into a competition. I bet it is the elderly flour that I can taste, which surprises me.

It will be edible--maybe not as good as when it was fresh, but hey, eat it warm with a glass of cold milk.

Some of the best creations in the kitchen come from mistakes or things we figure would never work.
I hope you've created a new classic. Good Luck.

The brown sugar pieces should melt in the oven, but I cannot make any promises on the outcome. =) Let us know? I'm curious-hope they are good though!

It probably will be edible, but you will have some hard, chewy candy like pieces. I say it will be okay to good.

It is probably gonna be trash if you still had bits of brown sugar in it.
