Chocolate chip squares are a classic dessert that has won over palates in various Latin American countries. Of American origin, this delight quickly became popular due to its sweet flavor and soft texture, combined with the crunchy touch of chocolate chips. In some countries like Mexico and Colombia, they are also known as "chocolate bars" or simply "oatmeal chocolate bars," while in Argentina and Chile they are often called "oatmeal brownies" due to the mix of ingredients. This recipe is ideal for sharing at family gatherings or to enjoy as a comforting homemade snack.
Their history dates back to the early 20th century when they were developed as a quick and easy-to-prepare alternative to traditional cakes. Since then, the recipe has been adapted in each region, incorporating local ingredients or different cooking techniques, such as using the microwave to speed up the process without losing flavor or texture.
