Ultimate Brownie - Wedding Article

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

·         8- 1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate

·         1 cup butter

·         5 eggs

·         3 cups sugar

·         1 tablespoon vanilla

·         1-1/2 cups flour

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         2-1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; set aside. In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes**. Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed. Stir in the nuts. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. (Don't overbake.) Cool and frost if desired, but that is not necessary.

** It's not required, but this is when it's very nice to own a stand mixer.
