Maple sugar for Maple Walnut Bars

Question

Can I substitute "maple sugar" for some of the brown sugar to boost the maple flavor in the Maple Walnut bars? If so, how much?

Hi Joshua - We did not test this recipe using maple sugar, so we cannot guarantee the results. That said, we think that you can use it on a one-to-one basis with the brown sugar. Perhaps give it a try by using 1 cup brown sugar with ¾ cup maple sugar and see how you like it. Adjust as desired for the next time. Be sure to write down your combinations and your comments on the results on the recipe so that you can replicate the version you like best.
