Experiment with pretzels, candy, or even potato chips (trust me, the salty crunch really is so good here) to add an extra boost of flavor and a crunchy texture. For a really fun addition that adds a ton of color, stir some strawberries or blueberries into the batter.

One chocolate chip cookie also has considerably fewer calories than a brownie, with the average brownie containing about 130 calories. Considering that brownies and chocolate chip cookies have comparable nutritional profiles, neither is better for you than the other.

Did you know that Brownies were originally called 'Rosebuds'? Rosebuds was established in 1914 for girls to join before they became Guides. Just one year later, the name was changed to Brownies. Brownies are the second-youngest members of the Girlguiding family, for girls aged between 7 and 10.

Brownie textures fall into three general camps… Cakey, fudgy and chewy. Cakey brownies, like the name implies, are light, moist and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

Brownies are usually said to dwell alongside humans in houses, barns, and on farms; whereas other fairies are usually said to reside in places of remote wilderness.

Royal brownies are sweet and full of cocoa, sugar, and applesauce. These brownies come out smooth and fudgy and you can add walnuts for some additional texture.

Anything with a little bite will do. Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cocoa nibs… adding a little textural crunch elevates your brownies from blah to bomb. Mix your crunchy bits into the batter or sprinkle on top to make your boxed brownies look even prettier.

On Jan. 11, the organization announced Brownies will now be called Embers. Embers is the program for seven and eight-year-old girls. Parents whose kids are in Girl Guides received an email explaining the change.

Add Salt. If you've ever found boxed brownies to be too sweet for your taste, stir a pinch of salt into the batter before baking. This'll help bring out the deeper chocolate flavors. You can even try sprinkling some flaky sea salt on top of the brownies as soon as they come out of the oven.

Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder. Throw in a handful of nuts—pecans, walnuts, macadamia, whatever you have on hand. Scoop in a palmful of dried or frozen fruit. Add an extra splash of the top-shelf vanilla extract, or a dab of vanilla paste, or a dash of vanilla powder, to the batter.

If you opt to add more eggs, say double the amount, something interesting happens. Even though you are adding more moisture, the air bubbles that you catch in the extra eggs add volume, which decreases the density of your final product. This makes your brownies rise and gives them a much more cake-like texture.

Brownies are baked in a pan, like cake and are usually cut into squares. Cookies are baked in individual pieces, usually in round shapes.

Doughs are a mixture mainly consisting of flour and are therefore malleable and can be kneaded with your bare hands on a work surface. Batters are usually thinner, more liquidy, and are mixed with an electric mixer or hand mixer in a bowl.

Typical cookie dough is 3 parts flour, 2 parts fat, and 1 part sugar. Cake batter is 2 parts each flour and liquid, 1 part each egg, fat, and sugar, plus 1 teaspoon baking powder per cup of flour.

These two box mixes are very similar. The difference between the two is in the amount of leavener used in the mix. A cake mix will have more while a brownie mix will contain very little or none at all.
