Recipe Introduction


RDChristmas.com


It doesn't get more fudgy than this. You can leave out the nuts if
you want a pure chocolate thrill.


Makes 7 dozen
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 35 minutes


1-1/2 cups unsalted butter
7 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
2-1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
6 large eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Frosting:
2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup low-fat milk
2-1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Step 1:
To make the brownies, preheat oven to 325°F and butter a 15-1/2 x
10-1/2 x 2-inch baking pan. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and
chocolate over low heat; cool. Onto a piece of waxed paper, sift the
flour and salt, then toss with the nuts.


Step 2:
In a large bowl, with a mixer at high speed, beat the eggs just until
foamy. Add the sugar, then the cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla,
and beat just until blended. Stir in the flour mixture just until it
disappears, then spoon into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or
just until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
almost clean. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.


Step 3:
To make the frosting, heat the chocolate, butter, and milk in a small
saucepan over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring frequently.
Cool to lukewarm, then pour into a medium bowl. Stir in sugar and
vanilla. Using a mixer, beat at high speed for about 10 minutes, or
until thick enough to spread. Frost completely cooled brownies in pan.


Step 4:
Refrigerate until ready to serve, then cut into 1-inch chunks and
remove from pan.
