How to Make Dark And Delicious Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position rack in the middle.
  2. Lightly grease and flour an 11x17 inch jelly-roll pan.
  3. Spread 1 cup of walnut halves on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly browned.
  4. Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  5. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt on medium-high speed until light, thick, and mousse-like (3-5 minutes).
  7. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Add in 3 additions, mixing until combined after each addition.
  8. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture and toasted walnuts.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 15 (3x4 inch) squares.
  12. Dust with cocoa powder (optional) for an extra touch of elegance. Brush off excess cocoa for a velvety finish.
