Creme Brulee question

Question

Can you make this using brown sugar or will I need white sugar (for the burnt layer)?

Answer 1

Yes.

Try it with Honey.

Answer 2

white is preferred for caramelizing , though brown sugar will give you probably a darker caramel. But if this is your first time making it, do it with the white until you have perfected that, then explore other avenues.  

Answer 3

for better results i would use white sugar, it will burn easier.
