Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter (don't use margarine)
• 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 5 large eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped

Recipe

• 1 melt butter and chocolate in microwave in large glass bowl. let cool a bit.
• 2 add eggs, stirring with a spoon to break and combine with chocolate mixture (don't beat).
• 3 add all remaining ingredients except nuts, and blend thoroughly with a spoon (don't use a mixer).
• 4 add nuts and stir til mixed.
• 5 turn into a buttered 13x9 baking pan. bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes.
• 6 the hardest part of making these, is it seems impossible to tell when they are done. you really just have to know your oven. i've finally decided it's 30 minutes - i set the timer, when it dings, i take them out - no matter what they look like, and call it done. but your oven might cook hotter. if you like a more cake like type brownie, you can add another egg.
