Boston Brownie
A chocolate brownie, also known as a Boston brownie or just brownie, is a small, rich, chocolate cake, named after its rich color. It is often covered with fudge. The first known mention of a brownie is believed to be in the 1897 Sears and Roebuck catalog.
Brownies are believed to have been discovered by accident, by a careless cook intending to make a chocolate cake, but forgeting to use a raising agent such as baking powder. There are many different recipes for brownies, and simple versions often serve as an introduction to baking.
Hot brownies with an ice cream ball over it, is a common way to serve brownies.
