brownie

Dense chocolate dessert

A brownie is a small, rich, chocolate cake, typically dense and chewy, cut into squares or rectangles.

Brownies are also junior members of the Girl Scouts or Girl Guides, typically ages six to eight, who wear brown uniforms.

In folklore, a brownie is a helpful household spirit that performs chores at night.

To earn brownie points is to gain favor through good deeds or flattery, often with slightly cynical overtones: He's just trying to score brownie points with the boss.
