Caramel Brownie Mix in a Jar
Brownies are a very popular dessert in Latin America and around the world, known for their dense texture and sweet, chocolaty flavor. Their origin dates back to the United States in the late 19th century, when they were created as a variation of chocolate cake to adapt to convenience and ease of preparation. In different Latin American countries, brownies keep their traditional name, although in some places you can find variations with different ingredients and flavors, such as the use of nuts, caramel, or fruits. The caramel brownie mix in a jar is an excellent option for gifting or for simple preparation, allowing the dry ingredients to be kept ready to use whenever desired.
