SERIOUS CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

 

INGREDIENTS

(32 BROWNIES)

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)

 

PRODCEDURE

GREASE A 13 x 9 INCH PAN AND PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 350. 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 OVER BAKE. THE BROWNIES ARE DONE WHEN A

TOOTHPICK INSERTED IN THE CENTER COMES OUT SLIGHTLY DIRTY. COOL IN PAN,

THEN CUT INTO SQUARES.

Whoa! Those sure are some serious chocolate

brownies. I just love those things. [laughs]

My Grams used to make these wonderfully

rich cheesecake swirled brownies made even

more rich and sinful with dark chocolate icing.

Mmmmmm.

Thanks for sharing your brownie recipe, Lori.

How have you been doing?
