Note

For best results, use high-quality unsweetened chocolate for a deeper flavor profile.

If you prefer a chewier texture, slightly underbake the brownies; for a cakier texture, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

You can substitute walnuts or pecans for the chopped nuts, or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
