Brownies are a classic American dessert, but what makes these chocolatey squares so popular?

Maybe it’s the brownie’s versatility. Whether a gooey, fudgy interior or a dense corner piece, the brownie can tailor to multiple crowds of chocolate lovers, depending on how it’s baked.

That being said, bad brownies still exist and can be caused by overbaking or using the wrong ingredients or pan sizes. Brownies can be a daymaker or a dealbreaker.

To make sure you get the delicious brownies you deserve, Tasting Table rounded up the best brownies in each state based on customer reviews, awards and reputations. Brookies or blondies were not considered in the roundup, according to the outlet.

Campbell’s Bakery

Campbell’s Bakery in Jackson, is an award-winning American bakery serving up petit fours, tea cakes, custom cakes and — according to Tasting Table — the best brownies in Mississippi.

“We’re thrilled to share that Tasting Table has named us Best Brownie in Mississippi,” bakery staff said in a Feb. 27 post on Facebook. “If you haven’t tried them yet, consider this your sign to stop by and try a classic brownie or our new gluten friendly brownies, made with the same rich chocolate and care.”

The bakery was founded by Louis and Jessie Campbell in 1962 and has been an integral part of the Fondren community, according to its website.

“The brownies here are regarded as very moist, with variations like lemon chess and caramel available in addition to chocolate,” Tasting Table reported.
