Description

These classic brownies offer the perfect balance of deep chocolate flavor and tender texture. The batter starts with melted chocolate and butter, creating a dense, fudgy crumb that holds together beautifully. A hint of vanilla and a pinch of salt elevate the sweetness of the granulated sugar. Chopped walnuts add a delightful crunch and earthy note that complements the cocoa. Baked in an 8-inch square pan, they emerge with a desirable shiny crust. These are ideal for after-dinner treats, potlucks, or simply satisfying a sweet craving. Simple ingredients yield impressive results, making this a reliable favorite for home bakers who love traditional chocolate desserts.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC) and grease an 8x8 inch metal baking pan.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Stir in the flour, salt, and chopped walnuts until just incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
