Brownies

Baking has been one of my favorite hobbies since I was a little girl and one of the most common recipes that I enjoy making are brownies. This sweet dessert is every chocolate lover’s dream. Depending on the density of the batter, the brownie may turn out fudgy or cakey. I usually prefer mine fudgy because it complements the sweetness of the chocolate. There are several toppings that you can incorporate to make your brownie look presentable. Nuts are occasionally used to top off these sweet creations. An additional scoop of ice cream creates a well-known dessert called hot fudge brownie sundae, drizzled with hot fudge and whipped cream. Brownies are often accompanied by a glass of milk.

So what is all the fuss about this cake-like recipe? This discovery was believed to be founded in America, but the origin of the brownie remains unsolved. Several myths provide a mixed review on its original inventor and its location. Some even say that this creation was made accidently. Until then, we are still uncertain as to where brownies are originally created. This chocolaty delight is technically classified as a cookie bar that obtained its name from its brown color, thus the name “brownie.” But why is it identified as an American treat? Considering its efficient structure to be eaten without utensils is one reason why Americans crave for brownies. Typically, many people perceive America as the capital country of chocolate devotion. Hence, the influence of chocolate in America brought about the creation of brownies.

But why do we find this concoction so irresistibly satisfying for the sweet tooth? Well, it’s practically the perfect alternative for a cookie. Brownies can be formed in several molds, unlike a cookie. You can either prepare it as one big square or cut it into individual slices, or maybe mold into a cupcake shape. There are many ways to bake a typical brownie batter, and yet it is very simple to prepare. I normally use a store bought mixture and add water, oil, and egg. Bake it in the oven for 45 minutes and you’re ready to dig in. It’s the perfect dessert to end a satisfying meal.
