The Life and Times of Chocolate Brownies

In 1894, socialite and philanthropist Mrs. Potter Palmer asked her chef to bake a small chocolate treat for her friends to take to the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Thus, the chocolate brownie was born!  Today, 118 years later, its foremost descendants are the uniquely delicious variations on the original from Blissful Brownies.  Mrs. Palmer would be very, very pleased, as is everyone today who enjoys the luscious German Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies and the 11 other popular choices.

Ambler Fitzsimons, not a socialite but an erstwhile attorney who has followed her passion for baking, has created every recipe to assure that her brownies are denser, richer and chewier – honest-to-goodness All American fudge brownies that are enjoyed the world over. Some are served hot and fresh with vanilla ice cream.  Some folks add hot fudge and whipped cream, berries, nuts or whatever strikes their fancy.

Ambler hasn’t limited her recipes to fudge brownies.  She is constantly creating new delights, like the buttery, slightly salty English Toffee and very special Lemon Bars, plus another is in the test kitchen now.  Whatever it is, it’s made with premium all-natural ingredients, like the Guittard chocolate used to enhance the brownies richer flavor.

In addition to the traditional brownie shape, there are Brownie Bites, a small chocolate- coated version, and the Brownie Cake, ready to be cut for the party.  Blissful Brownies are offered in six and 12 piece boxes or individually wrapped.  Each box is beautifully gift wrapped with a ribbon and shipped with a personal greeting. There is a size and flavor that will delight everyone – mail order brownies as corporate food gifts, or as a surprise to anyone special. After seven years, Ambler says she absolutely loves making people happy.  (All attorneys can’t say that, but those who send clients Blissful Brownies can).

(Q). What Confection Has Its Own Day? ( A). English Toffee (surprised?)

Don’t bother Googling it; you can take our word.  Why only English Toffee?  Probably because it’s been around for a couple hundred years and maybe because the Brits wanted something sweet to enjoy on their “Twelfth Night Celebration”.

Here in the U.S of A., we don’t need a special day to satisfy our appetite for sweets. And, in our opinion, nothing does it better than All-American Brownie Bites. Whether you want to treat yourself or a special someone on a special day – birthday, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, you-pick-it – check out the Web for mail order brownies.  You’ll find a good group of artisan bakers, and one of our favorites is Blissful Brownies.


We like the down-home fact that the Chief Baker is following a recipe she created for Fudge Brownies in her mom’s kitchen when she was just 9. We like that they use only natural ingredients and that they bake-to-order and ship fresh from the oven.  We like the images of the German Chocolate Brownies, the Peanut Butter Brownies, and the other  features. We think you ought to take a looksee (or dekko, as the Brits would say) at the English Toffee.  It shows you how good chocolate covered toffee, sprinkled with pecans,  looks.

Incidentally, you may not think of it, but we know that brownies, those that we’d rank as gourmet brownies, make excellent corporate food gifts. So does English Toffee.  Any day.
