ingredients

2 ounces Baker's unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x8-inch baking dish.

Combine the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling, water. Stir until melted. Turn off the heat.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar with the mixer on medium speed. With the mixer running, add the melted chocolate and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture and continue to mix until combined. Stir in the nuts by hand.

Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking dish. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan. Cut into squares.

If doubling the recipe, use a 9x13 baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.

  1. Rellen REVIEW:

    Made these once a week for my daughters lunches alternating with homemade chocolate chip cookies. The best brownies in the world!!

  2. Anne REVIEW:

    I thought they were a little dry but overall ok. Maybe I baked them too long or something since the other reviews seem to all be positive.

  3. SuperMom REVIEW:

    Swirled in some peanut butter into the pan of brownies before they went into the oven. Mmmm!

  4. NTexan REVIEW:

    Made three batches of these for a school event and they were gone almost instantly.

  5. Lashanda REVIEW:

    These turned out amazing! So moist! I omitted the nuts though.

  6. foodistahillary REVIEW:

    Wonderful!

  7. haggardhousewife REVIEW:

    I doubled the recipe and it turned out very good. I used pecans for the nuts beause that's what I had but next time I'll use walnuts. The brownies were very nice and moist. I recommend this recipe.
