Categories: Brownies Chocolate
Yield: 16 Servings
| 2/3 | c | Unsalted butter |
| 2 | oz | Unsweetened chocolate; cut into small pieces |
| 2 | oz | Semisweet chocolate; cut into small pieces |
| 1 | c | Granulated sugar |
| 3/4 | c | Light brown sugar; packed |
| 3 | | Jumbo eggs |
| 1 1/2 | c | Sifted all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 | ts | Salt |
| 2 | ts | Vanilla |
| 1 1/2 | c | Walnuts; coarsely chopped OR pecans |
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375~. Melt the butter with the four squares of
chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Remove the pan
from the heat and mix in the granulated and brown sugars, eggs (one at a
time), flour, salt, vanilla and nuts. Spread the batter into a
well-buttered 9x9" baking pan, pushing it well into the corners and
smoothing the top. Bake the brownies uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until
the brownies feel fairly firm and begin to pull away from the sides of the
pan. Cool the brownies in the upright pan on a wire rack for at least 30
minutes. Cut them into large squares.
