How to Make Almond Brownies

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¼ cup water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
4. Remove from heat and stir in 6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
5. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl.
6. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Stir in 6 ounces (1 cup) additional semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped almonds.
9. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
