Chocolate Brownie Cobbler

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10x15 baking dish.

Melt the butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.

Transfer the chocolate mixture to a mixing bowl. With the mixer running on low speed, add the sugar. Mix until the sugar has dissolved, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the flour and salt, again scraping down the sides as needed.

Stir the walnuts into the cobbler batter by hand.

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs.

Let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving. Serve the cobbler with ice cream, if desired.
