Brownies Make A Great Dessert

Chocolate brownies are the anytime treat of the US

. Regardless of the occasion from the 4th July to Christmas Brownies are a favourite snack time desert.

Brownies are normally baked in the oven and made up of a combination of flour, eggs, cocoa powder or real chocolate pieces and milk. The texture of a brownie is like a mixture of a cookie and chocolate cake and can be tailored according to taste. The brownies are baked and the cut into individual square portions served hot or cold.

Brownies can come in all sorts of forms, from fudgy tasting to more of a cakey taste and can include a number of fillings including nuts, chocolate, whipped cream or frosting. It is up to the baker to add their own preference and some brownies may include no chocolate at all and substitute this for brown sugar and these are called blondies.

Brownies are usually eaten by hand as a snack treat, but may also be served in restaurants where they are eaten by a spoon and may be accompanied with whipped cream or melted chocolate.

For those with allergies Brownies can also come in gluten free, and can even be made so they are suitable for vegans.

Brownies have become quite popular as a treat for corporate events or catering events. The range available can be chocolate orange, smartie brownies, white chocolate, pecan studded, and even fruit and fibre brownies.

One way in which a chocolate treat can be a great corporate gift, is when trying to impress or entertain a prospective client. Online companies will often gift wrap the brownies with the company logo or message, and can be a great way to get a foot in the door.

What is the History of Brownies?

According to some sources the invention of brownies started in Chicago after a lady attending a fair requested a desert, that should have the rich texture of a chocolate cake, but should be made available in small bitesize pieces which could easily be placed into a boxed lunch. The early brownies were quite different from the chocolate treat we see today as they featured an apricot glaze and had pieces of walnut in them. To this day the brownies are still being made in the hotel, according to the original recipe. The earliest brownie recipe was first placed in a book called Home cookery in 1904.
