    Nutty Brownies 

    These Nutty Fudgy Brownies are a definite favorite around here, an oldie but a goodie! I love brownies with all kinds of nuts, inside and out! In this recipe you have the option of doing both.

    Usually, I love to cover the top of the brownies with nuts but my husband and son always include them on the inside too. I leave the decision up to you. My husband thinks you should be able to decide just how nutty you prefer your brownies and he is right!

     Brownies with Nuts

    My grandmother used to stay with my sister and I when we were young, during the week, while we were in elementary school. She was one of my most favorite people in the entire world, as many of you already know.

    She used to give us brownies, with walnuts, regularly as a dessert, for our lunch. Every time I make and eat one I always think of her, to this day and I probably always will.

    This recipe totally reminds me of her and I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do!

    How to make Nutty Fudgy Brownies

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
     
    Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil so that the foil extends 2 inches around the outside of the pan.
     
    We tear a piece that hangs over in one direction and then we tear off another piece to hang over in the other direction. Fold your extra inches underneath for now.
     
    Spray inside with cooking spray and set aside.
     
    In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt together butter, brown sugar, semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth.
     
    Pour into a large bowl.
     
    Stir in sugar with a wooden spoon.
     
    Add eggs and vanilla and stir until totally incorporated.
     
    Add flour and salt.
     
    Stir until mixture is well blended and smooth.
     
    Pour batter into your prepared pan and smooth or level the top surface with a spatula.
     
    Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out pretty clean with a few moist bits attached to it. Be careful not to over bake.
     
    Place your pan on a wire rack and cool for about 1 hour.
     
    Using the foil ends as handles lift brownie out of the pan.
     
    Peel off tin foil and place brownie on rack with the smooth side up. This is the side you will smear your icing on.
     
    Cool the brownies completely.
     
    In a small saucepan combine butter, unsweetened and milk chocolate over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is melted and smooth.
     
    Pour saucepan into the bowl of a stand mixer or a bowl that you can use your electric mixer with.
     
    On low speed add icing or powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth, a few minutes.
     
    Spread frosting on top of the brownie.
     
    Decorate with chopped nuts if desired.
     
    Slice into squares and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
