Brownies are an iconic dessert in American baking, originating from the late 19th century. Their creation is commonly attributed to the need for a small, easily transportable cake, ideal for snacks. Throughout Latin America, this delicious sweet has gained popularity under various names and adaptations. For example, in Mexico and some Caribbean countries, they are simply known as "brownies," while in Argentina and Chile, anglicisms are also used, or they are sometimes called "bizcochitos de chocolate." Regardless of the name, brownies are typically characterized by their moist and dense texture, which combines intense chocolate flavors with a soft, chewy crumb.
This dessert has transcended borders thanks to its versatility and unmatched flavor, becoming a staple at family gatherings, coffee shops, and celebrations. The traditional recipe can vary, incorporating ingredients such as walnuts, chocolate chips, or syrups, which enrich its flavor and texture.
