A chocolate brownie is a flat, baked square or bar introduced in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century and popularized in both the USA and Canada during the first half of the twentieth century. The brownie is sliced from a type of dense, rich chocolate cake, which is, in texture, like a cross between a cake and a cookie. Brownies come in a variety of forms. They are either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density, and they may include nuts, frosting, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or other ingredients. A variation that is made with brown sugar and no chocolate is called a blondie.
Brownies are common lunchbox fare, typically eaten by hand, and often accompanied by coffee. They are sometimes served warm with ice cream or topped with whipped cream.
This beautiful recipe is from Kristen – wife of my colleague and friend Rolando – and she is author of a great blog, that you probably would be interested to check as well: http://hypervocal.com/tag/kristen-boye/
As she characterize the recipe on her blog.: „The beauty of this recipe is that you can effortlessly mix everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula in the same pan that you melt the butter and then just pop them in the oven. They take but minutes to prepare… They also freeze beautifully.“
Me and my colleagues here in Canada which we share my home now for couple of months tried her recipe and we can guarantee – it is just amazing!
