Concrete is a dense, layered dessert bar popular in the United States, particularly in the Midwest. It typically consists of a chocolate cookie or brownie base, a thick layer of chocolate or peanut butter fudge, and a crunchy topping like nuts or toffee, all pressed together firmly. The name comes from its solid, unyielding texture when chilled.
