Chicago hotel brownies with dark chocolate, walnuts and apricot glaze.
About Brownies
These brownies follow the Palmer House Hilton’s longstanding Chicago hotel recipe. The named rendition combines dark chocolate, butter and eggs in a baked chocolate base, topped with chopped walnuts and an apricot glaze.
Chocolate and butter give the brownies their richness, while the walnuts add a contrasting nutty texture. Apricot preserves bring fruit flavour to the glaze, which is brushed over the warm baked surface.
The hotel describes a soft, gooey centre beneath edges that begin to crisp. The batter is baked in a rectangular sheet, with the walnuts pressed into the top before baking.
