It’s National Brownie Day and there’s an interesting debate going on about what kind is the best. Honestly, a brownie’s always been just a brownie to me, but it’s evidently quite different to some folks and they’re very passionate about it. Most of us are familiar with the “Big 3” common varieties:
Standard:
The chewy, chocolate dessert that usually comes from a mix. Sometimes with nuts, sometimes without, but always good.
Cream Cheese:
The marbling certainly looks spectacular, but I’m not sure it’s worth the extra step.
Blondies:
Lighter in color and some would argue also lighter in flavor.
I’ve eaten—and enjoyed—all of those, but I had no idea the world of brownies was so much larger and more exotic! Ever heard of “Deep Cherry Chipotle” brownies or “Tahini and Halvah Floss” brownies? I definitely hadn’t prior to today. Those two, along with a dozen more obscure concoctions, are featured on Hello Giggles. While not all of them sound appetizing to me, I am impressed with the creativity.
As for my personal favorite? Drenched in caramel! OMG, this would seriously be heaven on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added.
Feel free to chime in with your thoughts. What’s your favorite brownie?
I’m a diabetic and not supposed to eat sweets, but if I could, I would pick the blondies.
It’s not just diabetics that need to be aware about sugar. Good reminder for everyone in general to be wise. I think treats are great, but we all need to eat more broccoli than brownies.
Yes you are so correct, broccoli is a wiser choice
Too bad they can’t figure out how to make broccoli taste likes brownies! When that day comes, everyone will be so skinny.
I naturally just dont eat many sweets. I did see a recipe for a salted caramel brownie though that looked really good. Now and again, I will eat something sweet like cheesecake or a fruit pie but it is very rare.
Do you prefer savory snacks? I’ve noticed that most people tend to be one or the other – savory or sweet. I like both, but sweet stuff way more.
Brownie day! love it! We made milk chocolate ones to celebrate!
YUM, that sounds good.
My favorite kind of brownie is chocolate/peanut butter
I didn’t even think of peanut butter! Such a great choice.
peanut butter fudge and the normal type of brownies are my fav. With white chocolate chip
That sounds really good
