List of Ingredients




Yield: Makes 16 to 20

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
3/4 cup GHIRARDELLI Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa
2/3 cup unsifted flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup GHIRARDELLI Double or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350. Using a spoon, stir eggs with sugar and vanilla; add butter. Sift ground chocolate with flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into egg mixture; add nuts. Stir in chips. Spread into greased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Bake 20-30 minutes. For extra chewy brownies, use 8-inch pan and less baking time. For cake-like brownies, use 9-inch pan and longer baking time. Cut into squares.

Caramel Pecan Topping
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped (6 oz.)

Once brownie is baked and cooled, in a 3-quart saucepan bring sugar, corn syrup, water and salt to a boil until it turns a golden caramel. Remove pan from heat and slowly add cream and vanilla. Quickly stir in pecans, pour over brownie layer. Cool on rack. Chill brownies, covered, until caramel is firm. (2 hours)
