When thinking about brownies, the flavor of chocolate is the most obvious one, but there are plenty of different brownies recipes. Some call for milk chocolate while others are based on dark chocolate. Some have unusual add-ins like marshmallows or butterscotch candies, and then of course there are blondies, which are the vanilla-based version of this otherwise chocolate-based treat.
