February 10 National Cream Cheese Brownie Day #CreamCheeseBrownieDay

I don’t know about you but #brownies is one of my favorite desserts. I was excited to find out February 10th is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day #CreamCheeseBrownieDay. I don’t know about you but I’ve never had a #CreamCheeseBrownie or even a Blondie. I only eat traditional #Brownies with and without Nuts. What about you.

Have you had a Cream Cheese Brownie and if so did you like the Cream Cheese Brownie? or do you prefer traditional Brownies like Charlie and I do. Before you ask what about David he will eat most anything so I’m sure he would like a Cream Cheese Brownie and I bet he has had one or two.

If your #Homeschooling your children or teaching your children to cook then you could have them make Homemade Cream Cheese Brownies today. I’ve included a recipe you can us at the bottom of this post. Before you ask if Charlie and I are going to make Cream Cheese Brownies we will later in the week when we go Grocery Shopping and can get the ingredients we need. Because we have to wait for payday before we can go shopping. Being broke stinks on days like this.

Come and celebrate National Cream Cheese Brownie Day which as I said earlier falls on February 10th and we’re going to show you how you can make Cream Cheese Brownies even more special and have a fun day.

Now I have a question for you. Did you know that the Brownie recipe has been around for more than 200 years? That means that people have been savoring Brownies before we were even born. National Cream Cheese Day is a holiday dedicated to this dessert that people love.

Here is a fun fact for you. There are several stories on the origins of Chocolate Brownies. One of the stories is that in 1893, Bertha Palmer, an affluent socialite wanted something special baked for the ladies while they attended the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. She asked the Chef of Palmer House Hotel, which was owned by her husband, to make something similar to a Cake, but only smaller. And thus, the Palmer House Brownies were born.

However, the term “Brownie” would only come up years later in 1896 in the book, “Boston Cooking School Book,” written by Fannie Farmer. In 1899, the first-known recipe of the Chocolate Brownie was printed in “Machias Cookbook,” and by 1907, the Brownie had become a well-known dessert and started to become popular among people of all ages. Another theory holds that Brownies were invented in the town of Bangor, Maine.

Over the years, many versions and varieties of Brownies have come up. Brownies are enjoyed with Peanut Butter, Marshmallows, etc. However, one of the most popular among these is the Cream Cheese Brownie.

Cream Cheese, which started emerging in the 1500s, is a delicious dairy product obtained by mixing Milk and Cream. And when this is combined with Chocolaty Brownies, the result is an explosion of sweetness and creaminess and leaves your taste buds wanting more.

Though the exact origins are not known, National Cream Cheese Brownie Day has been celebrated on February 9th, and National Cream Cheese Brownie Day is a day dedicated to this tasty dessert that is a favorite of millions worldwide.
