I love to take the grandchildren searching for walnuts in the woods around our house. These bars are real people pleasers, especially among men. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted |
frosting: |
1/4 cup butter |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 to 3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in walnuts.
2. Divide batter in half. Stir chocolate into one portion; spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Spread remaining batter evenly over top.
3. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack.
4. In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach spreading consistency. Frost brownies; cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
