Cooking Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 Ounces (oz) unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1 Cup butter, melted
• 5 Large eggs
• 3 Cups white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vanilla extract
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Cups walnuts, chopped
• 1.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup heavy cream
• 5 Ounces (oz) unsweetened baking chocolate
• 0.5 Cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Brownies: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened baking chocolate and butter. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft and the butter is melted. Stir until smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the melted chocolate-butter mixture.
4. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
6. Make the Frosting: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 7 minutes without stirring.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the unsweetened baking chocolate and softened butter. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
8. Transfer the frosting to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Stir every few minutes until the frosting is chilled and thickened, approximately 30 minutes.
9. Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the chilled frosting evenly over the top. Cut into 32 squares and serve.
