Dark brown sugar is "packed" so you can shape it into a ball and it wouldn't crumble. Light brown sugar does not have the same consistency and is in a granulated form much like regular sugar. I think dark brown sugar has a high molasses content.

Light brown sugar doesn't have to be granulated. I've always used that in baking (not granulated).
Dark brown does have more molasses. I follow what the recipe says and if it doesn't specify, I usually use whatever I have on hand.

I've never seen light brown that isn't granulated. Good to know!
