Brooklyn Blackout Cookie + Brownie Combo Pack - 2 Tins

Sample both of Brooklyn Blackout Company’s one-of-a-kind treats! These Brooklyn Blackout Brownies and Cookies are just like the legendary Brooklyn Blackout Cake, super-chocolatey, delicate, and with just the right amount of chocolate chips but just in bite-size form!

From 1806 to 1966, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was one of the country’s most important military installations, and during World War II New York City announced mandatory neighborhood-wide blackouts to protect it. In honor of the monumental war effort, a beloved Brooklyn-based bakery chain named Ebinger’s created a dark, rich chocolate cake they called the Brooklyn Blackout Cake. The cake exploded in popularity, but sadly Ebinger’s went out of business in the 1970s and the original recipe was lost to history. Even though warships are no longer emerging from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, today hundreds of small local businesses are: it’s been transformed into one of the city’s biggest industrial and commercial complexes.
