Brownies: Serious Chocolate Brownies

Recipe Introduction

This is an adaptation of the "Scrumptious Brownies" recipe found on a box of Baker's unsweetened chocolate. I've reduced the amounts of sugar and flour from the original, which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.

List of Ingredients


8 oz unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
1/2 lb butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)


Recipe

Grease a 13x9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the chocolate and the butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool while beating eggs.

Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for a full 10 minutes.

Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low speed.

Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly dirty. Cool in pan, then cut into squares.

YIELD: 32 Squares
