Brownies are a classic and very popular dessert in the United States, known for their dense texture and intense chocolate flavor. Their origin dates back to the late 19th century when the first printed recipe for this delight appeared in an American cookbook. Over the decades, this preparation has been adapted and spread to various countries in Latin America, where it goes by different alternative names such as "brownies" or simply "chocolate cake." Although the traditional recipe maintains its essence, ingredients or the way of preparing them may vary slightly in different regions.
In countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, the term "brownie" is universally known and enjoyed in coffee shops and homes alike. However, in some localities, they are also called "little chocolate cakes" or "chocolate loaves," depending on the context and the size in which they are prepared. Brownies have gained fame not only for their exquisite taste but also for the ease of innovating with additions like nuts, chocolate chips, or even original preparations like the one we present below: brownies in a jar, perfect for gifting or storing.
