Daughter and I tested this one yesterday. My review... too chocolatey and
very tender. It crumbles easily and I don't like a fight going on when I'm
trying to eat a brownie. Now I should qualify the "too chocolatey" comment
in that chocolate is not my favorite flavor. I like it, but I don't like a
lot of it. I have girlfriends though that will kill for a square of these
brownies just because they are very chocolatey. I have therefore frozen a
few for when they come to visit next. DH and kids thought the flavor was
great, but didn't like the crumbliness either. Now on to the next recipe.

Chocolate-Fudge Brownies

Can one ever have too many brownies? If using semisweet chocolate instead of
bittersweet, do cut back on the amount of sugar called for by 2 tbsp.

12 ounces best-quality chocolate, chopped (I use bittersweet, semi-sweet
would be good too)
3/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350F and place rack in middle of oven.

Butter and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

Melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until mixture is smooth.

Let cool until lukewarm.

Stir in sugar, vanilla and eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each
addition.

Stir in salt and flour, stirring just until combined.

Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester
comes out with a few crumbs attached.

Let cool completely and cut into 24 bars.
