White sugar = molasses removed

[BXMurphy]

White sugar is just refined brown sugar where the molasses has been removed.

Out of brown sugar? Put the molasses back in. More molasses = darker white sugar.

That is correct. However molasses is a stand alone product. So while it is refined out of the raw process, molasses is not just hem - haw.

Just as dark brown sugar brings flavor differently than white sugar, molasses is it’s own animal. I like it and use it often.

When I was young my mom thought I was allergic to chocolate. When my brother got chocolate milk I’d get molasses milk. Loved it. Thanks goodness I’m not actually allergic to chocolate though.

Haha, Jeff. I understand.
I love molasses. My favorite is the Brer Rabbit, don’t really like Grandma’s. But man,,, I eat that on pancakes instead of syrup for sure and use molasses in recipes all the time.

I could live without sugars but not molasses.

A little sideways
Molasses is a by product of refining sugars.
Molasses is added back to refined sugar to create brown sugar.

Wait... what? You're saying refining takes out molasses and then molasses is added back to refined sugar to make it brown?

Oh, man. I'm done. :)

I'm with David, @DRKsmoking, I'm craving home made bread and molasses now! My grandmother always had a big silver can of it on the table. I would make a meal of her biscuits and molasses.
