My children always looked forward to these after-school snacks, recalls Hazel Fritchie of Palestine, Illinois. They're so fudgy they don't need icing. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
4 eggs |
2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat; cool for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Add flour and nuts; mix well.
2. Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Bake at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Cut into bars. Yield: 16 servings.
