Fudge Brownies

Fudge Brownies Serves 24 12 ounces best-quality chocolate, chopped (I use bittersweet, semi-sweet would be good too) 3⁄4 cup butter 1 1⁄4 cups sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup walnuts, chopped Preheat oven to 350F and place rack in middle of oven. Butter and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until mixture is smooth. Let cool until lukewarm. Stir in sugar, vanilla and eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in salt and flour, stirring just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a few crumbs attached. Let cool completely and cut into 24 bars.
