Brownies

Brownies are delicious tasting sweets with the main ingredient being chocolate.
They are baked in a fashion very similar to a cake. There are many variations of
brownies to choose from too. Some people like them just plain while others want
them frosted or with nuts added. You can also make brownies from white chocolat
e, add caramel, and put in fresh chocolate chunks.
It can be fun to bake different types of brownies for home or for a fundraiser.
There are tons of recipes in books and online. Some groups of people choose to h
ave a brownie exchange instead of a cookie exchange for the holidays as well. Wi
th so many varieties to choose from this is a great way to expose yourself to so
me new ones.
The texture for brownies can determine the overall taste as well. Some people li
ke to make them chewy. Others want them to be more of a cake like taste. You can
find recipes for both of them. If you are using a box mix to make your brownies
, you will generally just have to change the amount of certain ingredients to ge
t the texture you want.
Many restaurants offer delicious tasting brownies if you dont want to take the ti
me to bake your own. This can also help to keep you to consuming only one of the
m instead of an entire pan full. I know if there are brownies sitting on my coun
ter I tend to want to eat them right away and there arent any left for the rest o
f the household to enjoy. A common dessert item at many restaurants is the brown
ie sundae. This is a brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it and then ho
t fudge sauce. It is really delicious and if you havent tried one you should see
what it is all about.
One thing that many people worry about with brownies though is the calories. The
y love the taste but not all of the additives that come with it. There are some
really good low fat brownie recipes out there too though. This is a way to still
get to indulge in them but to reduce the negative effects on yourself. You can
also add an extra 15 minutes to your exercise routine in order to have a regular
brownie guilt free.
