There are a few theories surrounding the actual origins of the famous brownie, it’s been said that they originated from Boston, a woman was baking a chocolate cake and forgot to add a vital ingredient; the baking powder. So, her chocolate cake didn’t rise. Instead of just throwing the cake in the bin, she cut it and served the flat pieces of cake. It has been cited a couple of times by famous American brands, although there is no evidence to support this myth.
White Chocolate brownies/Blondies – Not everyone enjoys milk or dark chocolate. These brownies could be one of two things. The first is still a chocolate brownie, studded with white chocolate chips or chunks to make them sweeter. The other version is also known as a blondie. They still have a brownie texture but you don’t add the chocolate cocoa powder, these are usually sweeter than original chocolate brownies and can also come in a variety of different flavours.
