Laurie’s Very Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:
4 Squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
¾ cup butter (no substitutes)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Topping:
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup water
2 tbsp butter (no substitutes)
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Preparation:
In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate and butter; cool for 10 minutes

Add sugar; mix well. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Add flour; mix well. Stir in the walnuts. Line a 13x9x2” baking pan with foil and grease the foil. Pour batter into pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Cool completely.

For topping, melt chocolate chips, water and butter in a microwave or double broiler; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over brownies. Chill before cutting.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Yield: 3 dozen

Yummy, very chocolate brownies! I didn't have any foil, so I just cooked them in a greased pan and they still turned out very good!

Thanks for the recipe, Laurie. :-)
