1950's Brownies

⏱ 42 mins 🍽 16 serving(s) 🏷 Bar Cookie

This recipe yields a thick batter that bakes into wonderfully chewy brownies. The combination of unsweetened and semisweet chocolate creates a deep flavour, while the nuts add a pleasing texture. The method is straightforward, requiring you to melt the chocolate, combine the wet and dry ingredients, and stir in the nuts before baking. The result is a pan of 16 squares that are difficult to resist, which is why the recipe is often doubled.
