You may have reached for brownies across caf\u00e9 counters or picked them up at your local store. These bite-sized bits of decadence owe their existence to Bertha Palmer, an America business-woman, socialite and philanthropist. The story goes that brownies were created for Palmer after she requested a dessert \u2013 smaller than a piece of cake \u2013 for ladies attending the Chicago 1893 World Fair. These first brownies featured an apricot glaze and walnuts!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But the standard store brownies seldom come close to a batch baked fresh at home. To help you understand what we mean, we have in this recipe, a marriage of chocolate and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, designed to hit all the right notes on the taste-bud scale, and easy to make!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The famous coffee flavors both the brownies and their ganache topping, and you can give it a bit of Kahlua or Baileys Irish Cream essence by adding a teaspoon of the desired liqueur to the ganache. Ideally any coffee freshly ground will work for this recipe but the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is prized for its bold, clean flavor. However, good espresso beans and strong brewed espresso works well, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
