Beacon Hill Brownies

Fun fact! Where did the term ‘brownie points’ come from? Oops. Sorry. I don’t know either.

All I know is it’s a hypothetical social currency, and you can earn them by doing good deeds or earning favor in the eyes of a certain person. Here’s a legit fun fact: Albeit cannabis is the most controversial brownie mix-in, walnut tops the list of favorite brownie add-ins. And it’s legal.

I believe that brownies are best when they’re chewy. However, there are two kinds of people. Those who like cake-y brownies, and those who like fudgy ones. To which group do you belong?

These brownies are dense sans being overly rich. It’s a pretty straightforward recipe, no frills or too many intimidating ingredients. Of course, moist, and chock-full of walnuts. You can use pecans, too, if you want to.

It doesn't take rocket science to know what makes these such a hit to everyone: butter, sugar, eggs and nuts. Well, duh. Do I even have to mention chocolate?

Beacon Hill Brownies

• 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup butter
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups walnuts, coarsely chopped

Melt chocolate with butter in saucepan over very low heat; stirring constantly until smooth. Cool slightly. Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl at high speed 10 minutes. Blend in chocolate at low speed. Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts. Spread in greased 13x9-inch pan. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool in pan. Cut into bars or squares.

Enjoy! 🙂
