    Will it still work if you use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but you may have a harder time trying to separate the cubes from the foil, causing the cubes to break.
  • Question
    How long does this usually take?
    Community Answer
    It depends on which method you use, but it looks like at least 1.5 hours for the first method. The second method depends on how long it takes for your sugar to dry.

  • Question
    Can I add cocoa powder to the sugar cube mix?
    Community Answer
    Sure, but try doing the baking version if you want to add it for better results.
  • Question
    Just how much sugar is in these cubes? Percentage?
    Community Answer
    The cubes are just sugar with a little water that bakes off in the oven. How much sugar is in each cube depends on how large you cut them.
  • Question
    Can I put it in the freezer?
    Community Answer
    Of course you can.
  • Question
    Can I just let the water evaporate off instead of using the oven or freezer?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but if the area is warm or humid, then try moving your sugar cubes to dry somewhere else. If you don't, then your sugar cubes might not set.
  • Question
    What did I do wrong if my sugar cubes expanded a lot after baking?
    Community Answer
    There is nothing wrong. The water just evaporated and expanded the space between the sugar granules. To prevent this, you can push the sugar down during baking, as it will have set by the end.
