Chocolate brownie
There are many recipes for chocolate brownies, but the history of this delicious treat is shrouded in mystery. Some believe that brownies were first created in the United States in the late 19th or early 20th century. Others believe that they originated in England or Scotland.
The first chocolate brownie recipe appeared in the Boston Cooking School Cookbook in 1896. It was called the "Bangor Brownie" and was made with chocolate, molasses, and nuts. The recipe was later changed to include cocoa powder and baking powder, and the brownies became known as the "Boston Brownie."
The first published recipe for chocolate brownies appeared in the Ladies Home Journal in 1905. The recipe was very similar to the one used today, with the addition of vanilla extract.
