From Claire: You can find the original Palmer House Brownie recipe online. It is recognized as the original brownie developed for Chicago World’s Fair. Problem is, it’s made with walnuts, which I am not a fan of. So I substituted almonds and used a raspberry glaze instead of an apricot glaze. This is a VERY fudgy brownie.

TIP: Good idea to refrigerate them overnight before slicing. They are really more like fudge than brownies.
