Brownie
Limited nutritional benefit
Dense chocolate square made with butter, sugar, eggs and cocoa.
A brownie is a dense, fudgy chocolate bake made from melted butter and chocolate, sugar, eggs, a little flour and cocoa, cut into squares. It is very energy-dense, with about 40 g of sugar per 100 g and a lot of saturated fat from the butter and chocolate. One 65 g square is close to 300 kcal; cutting the pan into smaller pieces is the simplest way to eat less.
