Since I love brownies so much I thought I would include a little history lesson about the brownie.  It all started in 1893 when Bertha Palmer, the wife of Palmer House owner Potter Palmer, was president of the Ladies Board for the Colombian Explosion World’s Fair.  She was asked by the organizers of the event to create a dessert especially for the boxed lunches at the Women’s Pavilion, Palmer went to her hotel’s pastry chefs and game them the task of creating a dessert that was easier to eat than a piece of pie and smaller than a layer cake that could easily be served in boxed lunches.  The result was a brownie made with double the chocolate normal brownies use, walnuts, and an apricot glaze that’s still made at the hotel to this day.  HERE is that recipe.
