## Caption

A good brownie owes its shiny, crackly finish to white sugar. The pure sucrose in granulated sugar forms a smooth, glasslike, non crystalline surface as it cools that reflects light in a focused way, for a shiny effect. As for the crackly crust, its formation is caused by sugar molecules rising to the surface of the batter and drying out during baking. ⠀
