  • Blend in melted chocolate, vanilla and flour
  • Mix walnuts into the batter (if using walnuts)
  • Bake in a greased 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes (If you like these thin, bake them in an 8 x 11 inch pan for 30-35 minutes
  • Your delicious restaurant dessert recipe is done when the edges look hard and the top has cracked slightly and the surface appears glossy. The center should not jiggle when you shake the pan

Use good quality bakeware. Please remember to measure flour accurately, spoon it lightly into a dry measuring cup. Level with a spatula or the back of a knife.



Enjoy your best restaurant dessert recipe and the company of those you share it with!

Did you know? The first printed Brownie Recipe: The 1896 edition of the 'Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking-School Cook Book' contains a recipe for "Brownies" - but they are molasses flavored, not chocolate.
