History+of+brownies

home The brownies, one of america's favorite treats, was invented in the USA, yet we aren't quite sure where. Although a batch of brownies are baked in a cake pan, they are more like cookie bars. There are many recipes for brownies, such as fudge, cake, caramel, walnut, and some types of brownie layer bars.

THEORIES TO HOW BROWNIES WERE DISCOVERED:
Brownies got there name from their dark brownish color. There is no proven theory of how brownies were invented, but one myth is accidentely added milk chocolate to a batch of biscuits.

Another theory some might believe is that a cook was baking a chocolate cake but figured he didn't have enough flour to finish so he added more cocoa powder and eggs instead. The last theory i will share, though there are many more, is that a housewife in Bangor, Maine, who was making a chocolate cake but forgot to add baking powder. When her cake didn’t rise properly, instead of tossing it out, she cut and served the flat pieces.
