Dark Chocolate Brownies

Dark Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

  • 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 Coarsely chopped walnuts OR pecans

Instructions:


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 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 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan, pushing it
well into the corners and smoothing the top. Bake the brownies
uncovered for 35 to 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.
