Dark Chocolate Brownies

Dark Chocolate Brownie Recipe

2/3 cup unsalted butter
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, cut into small pieces
2 oz. semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 jumbo eggs
1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
   
2. Melt butter and four squares of chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring often.
   
3. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the granulated and brown sugars, eggs (one at a time), flour, salt, vanilla, and nuts.
   
4. Spread the batter evenly into a well-buttered 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake the brownies uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the brownies feel fairly firm and begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
   
5. Cool the chocolate brownies in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, and then cut them into large squares.
