Ultimate Brownies


Ultimate Brownies
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time:  35-40 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Yield:  24 brownies

INGREDIENTS
8-1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 cup unsalted butter
5 large eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375F.  Line  a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil leaving extra foil at the ends to use as handles to lift the brownies out after cooling.  Spray foil with cooking spray after lining pan. Melt butter and chocolate over low heat, set aside.  Meanwhile, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla for 10 minutes (this is where a stand mixer comes in handy). Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed.  Stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in 375F oven for 35-40 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, then lift by the excess aluminum foil at the ends of the pan. Cut into 24 individual pieces being sure to clean the knife between each cut to ensure a cleaner slice. Enjoy!!
