I love brownies..that yummy chocolate baked dessert!!
I do too! They go great with vanilla ice cream, fresh out of the oven!
What type are your favorite.  Fudgy or cake like?
I am a chocoholic. Fudge is the way to go. I like to add powdered sugar on top as well.
I like just about anything added to mine.  chocolate chips, cream cheese, dark chocolate
I never tried adding cream cheese. That is a good idea. Do you like any nuts in your brownies? I'm fond of walnuts.
I like chopped pecans!!  Have you ever had the variation of the brownie called a blondie?  They add brown sugar to the batter rather than chocolate.  It isn't my favorite only b/c I am chocoholic
No I never had a blondie. It sounds good though. Brownies make a great dish to bring to a dinner party. No one will turn that down!

Brownies are a form of sheet cookie. Brownies are typically eaten by hand, often accompanied by milk, served warm with ice cream (a la mode), topped with whipped cream, or sprinkled with powdered sugar and fudge. In North America they are common lunchbox treats, and also popular in restaurants and coffeehouses.
History.
One legend about the creation of brownies is that of Bertha Palmer, a prominent Chicago socialite whose husband owned the Palmer House Hotel
baked in rum and brown sugar. Jelly-roll or sponge cake, served with peaches or strawberries, bananas, custard, chopped nuts, and whipped cream and soaked in sherry is also a common dessert. Another notable Bermudian dessert is the restaurant Fresco's chocolate mousse cake, which is served fresh out of the oven with roasted almonds, toffee, marshmallow ice cream, and pistachio creme.
