Food being served
In this experiment we tried to see what people preferred better, New Zealand food vs American food. We bought chocolate, lollies, noodles, and drinks from the different countries. We then got two teachers to interview, while they taste-tested the food.
Our group interviewed our taste testers, Libby Hainsworth and Miss Hopper. Libby was very honest about which one she liked; all of them were from New Zealand. But that wasn't the case with Miss Hopper. She thought that the American chocolate was better.
After we interviewed Libby Hainsworth and Mrs Hopper, we got there feedback and concluded that they both prefered New Zealand snacks better. They found the American snacks to artficial and sweet. On the other hand with Nz snacks it was very tasty and not to sweet but not to bitter.

Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
Instructions:
Prepare the Microwave-Safe Mug or Dish: Choose a microwave-safe mug or small microwave-safe dish (about 8 ounces in size) to cook your brownie in. Make sure it's lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Melt the Butter: Place the butter in the mug or dish and microwave it for about 30-40 seconds until melted.
Mix the Ingredients: To the melted butter, add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well until everything is combined and smooth.
Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated, then add the egg and mix until the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate Flour: Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Optional Add-Ins: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter.
Microwave: Place the mug or dish in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. The brownie should look set on top but still slightly gooey in the center.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the brownie to cool for a minute or two before digging in. You can enjoy it straight from the mug or dish, or transfer it to a plate, top with ice-cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your quick and delicious brownie!
