Answers:
the color process, is really the only thing, but sometimes, there is more molassis(dont kno how to spell it) in dark brown sugar, and it can tend to make it sweeter, but when baking peanut butter cookies, its ALWAYS best to use light brown sugar, =)

like the recipe on the crisco can=)Www@FoodAQ@Com

The difference in the color is the process !.!. the sugar is washed making it lighter !.!. yes there is a difference in taste and smell !.!. the darker the stronger the taste and smell !.
dark is usually used in cooking , making brownings for stews !.
Light brown sugar for some types of baking , desert making and making drinks!.
Brown sugar is also the best type of sugar to use because it contains fiber and most of its nutrients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The difference is in the refining!. The dark brown sugar has undergone less refining, and therefore contains more natural molasses!.!.!.hence the darker color!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
