Brownies are a dessert originating from the United States, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. Their history tells that they appeared as a sweet and quick-to-prepare alternative, perfect for those looking for a treat that combined the texture of cake with the density of chocolate. In Latin America, although the name "brownie" is widely recognized, in some countries they are simply known as "little chocolate cakes" or "chocolate biscuits," depending on the region and the type of preparation. This dessert has won over palates across the continent and has been adapted into various versions that include different types of nuts, chocolates, and toppings. The combination of chocolate with walnuts or vanilla is common and highly appreciated, which provides a unique flavor and texture that have made brownies a favorite for all ages.

How to Prepare Snow Burst Brownies
To prepare delicious snow burst brownies, begin by beating together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl until you get a homogeneous mixture.
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking cocoa, baking powder, and salt, making sure to mix the dry ingredients well.
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the sugar and butter mixture, and mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Fold the vanilla chips and macadamia nuts into the mixture, stirring gently to distribute them evenly.
Spread the mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking pan, making sure the surface is level.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy on the bottom.
Finally, cut the brownies into diamond shapes if desired, and for a special touch, decorate them with melted white chocolate.
