Cooking with Class






List of Ingredients



• 1 cup butter
  
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate
  
• 5 eggs
  
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
  
• 2 tsp Grand Marnier
  
• 1 tsp grated orange peel
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 2/3 cup toasted slivered almonds
  
• 2/3 cup flour, sifted
  
• 1/2 cup raisins
  






Instructions



1. Combine the butter and chocolate in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Cook over very low heat until melted, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Cool lightly.
   
   
2. Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until blended and smooth. Stir in the Grand Marnier, orange peel and vanilla. Stir in the almonds, then the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour. Fold in the raisins.
   
   
3. Spoon the batter into a lightly buttered and floured 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the edges crack and the wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
   
   
4. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cut into squares. Remove the brownies to the wire rack to cool completely.
