A chocolate brownie is a flat, baked square or bar developed in the United States at the end of the 19th century and popularized in both the U.S. and Canada during the first half of the 20th century. The brownie is a cross between a cake and a cookie in texture. Brownies come in a variety of forms. They are either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density, and they may include nuts, frosting, cream, chocolate, 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 milk or coffee.
They are sometimes served warm with ice cream (à la mode), topped
with whipped cream or marzipan, or sprinkled with powdered
sugar. They are especially popular in restaurants, where they can be found
in variation on many dessert menus
