A chocolate brownie is America’s favorite baked treats. It is a flat, baked square or bars. The brownie is a cross between a cake and a cookie in texture. Brownies come in a variety of forms and they are either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density. It may also include nuts, frosting, whipped cream, chocolate chips etc.,

I baked my brownie for a minute longer, because I don’t want the gooey texture like the usual one. Brownies can be stored in a airtight container for a week at room temperature.

Bon Appetite !!
