Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 F.

• Stir sugar into chocolate until blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and nuts. Spread into a buttered 13" x 9" baking pan.

COCOA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8x2" glass baking dish with foil, pressing firmly into pan and leaving a 2" overhang. Coat foil with nonstick spray; set baking dish aside.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly. Whisk sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Pour butter in a steady stream into dry ingredients, whisking constantly to blend. Whisk in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating vigorously to blend after each addition. Add flour and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
• Bake until top begins to crack and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 25-30 minutes.
• Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely in pan. Using foil overhang, lift brownie out of pan; transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares.

SCHARFFEN BERGER BROWNIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13 inch pan. Prepare chocolate by melting in a heavy bottom saucepan with the butter, or microwaver to melt. Allow to cool. Briskly blend or whisk eggs and brown sugar together and add cooled butter mixture. Stir in vanilla, then fold in flour, baking soda and salt. Fold in nuts. Blend by hand and turn into prepared pan. Bake 30-40 minutes. Do not overbake. When you delicately touch the middle, top should just be set, not liquidy or jiggly underneath your fingertip but not too firm either. About 18-24 brownies, depending on size.
