Chocolate Brownies!

This week’s theme is on heavenly sweet foods. For this blog entry, it will be on Chocolate Brownies. It was first discovered in Chicago, Illinois during the 1893 Columbian Exposition.


The confection was created by a chef at the city's Palmer's House Hotel after Bertha Palmer requested a dessert for ladies attending the fair; it should be; she said; smaller than a piece of cake and can be easily eaten from boxed lunches. These first brownies featured an apricot glaze and walnuts and they are still being made at the hotel according to the original recipe.


To make Chocolate Brownies, you will need the ingredients listed below, but this isn't the real recipe made by the chef at Palmer's House Hotel though. So here we go:



• 120g good-quality dark chocolate
• 125g unsalted butter
• 200g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 85g plain flour
• 2 tbs good-quality cocoa
• 100g walnuts, chopped

The cooking instruction to make the Chocolate Brownies to this recipe can be found at http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/6805/brownies and there you have it! It will look almost the same as the picture above.


You might as well add on something else that you would like to have in your brownies or maybe make your own recipe for your brownies just like this!

Tasty looking, isn't it?
