Ingredients
Directions
- 1 of 5Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick aluminum foil; set aside.
- 2 of 5Place 1 cup (6 oz) of the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) and the butter in a large bowl and melt together in a double boiler on the stove. Don't be tempted to heat it in the microwave, butter explosions are the worst to clean up.
- 3 of 5Whisk in sugar, then eggs. Stir in flour and salt until smooth. Fold in 2/3 cup of the chopped macadamia nuts and the vanilla. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
- 4 of 5Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 to 29 minutes.
- 5 of 5Sprinkle remaining 1 cup chocolate chips over brownie and return to oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven, and spread melted chips until smooth, to form a frosting. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons nuts. Refrigerate 1 hour to firm chocolate, then cut into squares
My notes:
1. They are one bowl brownies, which is always a plus
2. They are very nutty brownies, which the DH loves, but may not necessarily please a crowd. Could probably use pecans or hazelnuts and would be delicious.
3. The chocolate layer on top is lovely, and makes the brownie look fantastic. The negative though is that if the brownie is served cold from the fridge, the chocolate is hard and crunchy. So these are best served slightly warmed.
4. I used 61% chocolate (12 oz chopped)— why bother using chips when it’s getting melted anyway? I also added a spoon or two of whole wheat pastry flour with the white flour because again why not?
5. I used table salt in the brownie and sprinkled a little fleur de sel on top.
6. I used roasted unsalted Mac nuts
7. Brownies took 25 minutes in my oven. Maybe even less.
8. I’d make again! They are delicious.
