Whenever my guests are kids I always make sure to serve them some healthy. But yes, I can’t avoid chocolate, its become the integral part whenever they are here, chocolate in a dessert is must. I believe little bit of chocolate doesn’t harm you. Does it?
They believe, I am the best brownie maker but I know the magic lies in chocolate. I was humbled and so happy by their statement. I have made these brownies so many times, always with so many variations sometimes with banana, oats, applesauce, pear, strawberry, cranberry, fudgy, no fuss and red velvet brownies.
They always tasted heavenly but somehow, I never got the chance to put my brownie in a post because this was something which was being made anytime and number of times in my house. And I never took any photograph of them too. This time I decided to serve the kids hot brownie with hot chocolate sauce. They were surprised, when I served them immediately taking the brownie out of the oven. Surprisingly they asked, what about the “fashion show” name given by kids for my food photography. They pursued me to take photographs of it. I loved their gesture.
For their this sweetness, I made one more dessert for them. They loved it. In the end, the person who was responsible for this recipe is Mrs. Deepa Rajpal of Passionate about Baking and all the credit must go to her.
A Chocolate Brownie chocolate brownie is a flat, square or bar developed in the United States at the end of the 19th century and popularized in both the U.S. and Canada during the first half of the 20th century. The brownie is a cross between a cake and a cookie in texture. Brownies come in a variety of forms. They are either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density and they may include nuts, frosting, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or other ingredients. A variation that is made with brown sugar and no chocolate is called a blondie.
