Ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

- In a large saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Let cool slightly, then gradually stir in the beaten eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the flour and stir until blended. Fold in the chopped walnuts and pour into the prepared baking pan.

Let cool completely in the pan, at least 4 hours. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and lift out the brownies using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut the brownies into squares and serve.
