These are the best brownies I have ever eaten. I have made the Barefoot Contessa's brownies several times and really loved them but these are the best. If you don't have a little surprise planned for your special someone, try these. It doesn't take long to make them and they are truly wonderful.
These are super fudgy and you can freeze these. They will keep in the freezer up to two months.
1 (8oz.) package unsweetened chocolate baking squares, chopped
1 1/2 cups butter, cut up
4 cups of sugar
2 cups of flour
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon puls 1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 cup coarsley chopped walnuts (optional) recipe doesn't call for walnuts but I love walnuts in brownies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan.
Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in bottom of a double boiler. Place chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler. Cook, stirring occasionally until butter and chocolate melts. Cool 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a larger bowl and add sugar. Mix well and then add the flour and mix well. Then add the next 3 ingredients and blend well. If you want walnuts, add them at this time and mix in well.
Pour into your prepared pan and bake for 32 to 35 minutes and if you would prefer cake like brownies add another 5 to 7 minutes. Cool in pan 30 minutes before cutting.
Garnish with a couple of large strawberries.
CHOCOLATE HEAVEN!!!
