Slice of Heaven Brownies

Demonstrated by:

Ingredients

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

4 ounces semisweet chocolate

1 block (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/4 cup flour

1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a 12-inch square of foil, shiny side up, pressing foil into place. Spray with oil. In a large heavy saucepan, combine unsweetened and semisweet chocolate, and butter. Melt over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in salt, vanilla, and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Add flour and stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny, and comes away from the side of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the nuts.

Spoon mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the bottom 1/3 of the oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely in the pan and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm. Cover the pan with a cutting board and turn out brownies. Gently remove foil and turn brownies right side up. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut brownies. Makes 16 brownies.

NOTE: For best results, use real sugar, not Splenda. These brownies are dense and fudge-like at room temperature. When served cold, they have a chocolate-caramel quality.
