Brownies

A dense, chewy bar style of cake, traditionally made in chocolate but now made in a variety of flavours including butterscotch and white chocolate (blondie). Brownies are sometimes covered with fudge and may contain nuts or chips (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter). Originating in the mid to late 1800's, the first known published recipe for chocolate brownies appeared in 1897 in a Sears Roebuck catalogue.
