Brownies are a classic of American baking that have become popular worldwide thanks to their moist texture and intense chocolate flavor. Their origin dates back to the late 19th century in the United States, where they emerged as a practical and delicious option for chocolate lovers. In several Latin American countries, although they keep their original name "brownies", they are also informally known as "pastelitos de chocolate" or simply "pan de chocolate", although these variants often have differences in texture and preparation.
This sweet treat is very versatile and each region has adapted the recipe with local ingredients, from nuts to different types of toppings, such as caramel, which adds a special and sophisticated touch. Caramel brownies are a perfect combination of intense chocolate and the creamy sweetness of caramel, making them an irresistible option for any occasion.
