Palmer House Original Brownie is the ultimate dessert indulgence

For anyone who has enjoyed the Palmer House Original Brownie, that iconic recipe is more than just any brownie. For over a century, that classic dessert has delighted guests. In honor of National Brownie Day, the historic Chicago hotel is celebrating the chocolate delight for all its guests.

Certain food items are forever associated with a hotel. From the Boston Crème Pie to the Pina Colada, guests can travel the world to taste the various food and beverages. What might have started as a treat, or even a lark, have become iconic offerings.

The Palmer House Original Brownie is one of those food items. Dating back to 1893, the Original Brownie was the idea from Bertha Honoré Palmer. During the Columbian Exposition World’s Fair, a dessert that was easy to transport was key. Nestled in boxes, the dessert was not only convenient, the flavor had people talking.

While people can debate whether the center or the edge of a brownie pan is better, the Palmer House brownie is different for a unique ingredient. These brownies have an apricot glaze.

In addition to all the rich fudge flavor and the walnuts for crunch, the fruit glaze makes each treat shine. That hint of tartness is the chef’s kiss to make these brownies deliciously decadent.

This year, Palmer House celebrated their iconic brownie with a bounty of brownie inspired food and beverages. The special Brownie Indulgence Menu Brownie Cheesecake, Brownie Brittle, and Brownie Lattés. Also, there was a Brownie Old-Fashioned. These special offerings showed that one iconic menu item can flavor a wide array of treats. Not only does it revitalize that classic dessert, but invites guests to have a robust conversation on the intersection of food, travel, and culture.

While the special Brownie Indulgence Menu was a limited time offer, the deliciousness of the iconic Palmer House Original Brownie is now available for everyone to enjoy, not just guests of the historic Hilton Hotel property. Available to order via Goldbelly, a taste of that classic Chicago dessert can be delivery across the miles. It might be the perfect gift for anyone longing to reconnect with the Windy City.

As more and more travelers crave food connections, it is vital for resorts and hotels to offer this type of delivery options. Even though the properties would prefer the in-person visit, a taste of their specialty items keeps those travel memories fresh.

Indulgence is on the menu and the Palmer House Original Brownie is waiting. Hungry for another bite?
