Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350Ā°F. Grease a 9 Ć 12-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugar and whisk until well blended. Add the cooled chocolate and the vanilla and stir until well blended. Add the flour, salt, and the nuts, if using, and stir just until combined.
Step 4
Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it, about 25 minutes. Let the brownies stand in the pan on a wire rack until completely cool. Slice into squares and serve.
Step 5
Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
