Brownies are such a wonderful treat and if any treat should ever deserve a day to be celebrated, Brownies should absolutely qualify! Happily today is National Brownie Day! Let's start our celebrating with some fun Brownie facts - did you know . . .
No one really knows where brownies first came from. There are three theories about the invention of brownies:
A chef accidentally added melted chocolate into biscuit dough.
A cook forgot to add flour to the batter while baking cake.
The most popular theory: A housewife did not have baking powder and improvised with this new treat. According to the story, she was baking for guests and decided to serve these “flattened” cakes to them.
There’s a mythical creature called a “Brownie”! Most people know the most common definition of the word “brownie” – a chocolate baked good. But did you know there’s also a mythical creature called a “brownie”? Brownies are tiny, fanciful, good-natured elves who secretly help out and do good deeds at night. (Brownie Girl Scouts get their "name" from this myth.)
