I give full credit to Lora Brody for these brownies from her book, “Growing Up On the Chocolate Diet,” which sums up how I want to eat every day. Another addition to my endless repertoire of brownies, one of my favorite desserts, breakfast foods, and mid afternoon snacks! Chocolate anytime makes me happy.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz unsweetened chocolate cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup, 2 sticks butter cut into pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted before measuring
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 cups pecans or walnuts, lightly roasted and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 13X9” baking pan.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter in a small saucepan or melt in a glass bowl in a microwave. Cool slightly.
  3. Beat the eggs, both sugars and vanilla on high speed for 10 minutes.Make sure that the mixture is thick and pale and forms a ribbon. Fold in cooled chocolate/butter mixture and stir until well combined. Add dry flour/cocoa mixture and stir until incorporated. Do not over beat.
  4. Fold in chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 30-40 minutes, taking care not to over bake. Cool in pan before cutting. Makes 24-32 brownies. Sometimes I serve these with vanilla ice cream and my special chocolate almond sauce. More is better.
