Homemade Brownies that actually ROCK

These were a recipe that I adapted from a cookie brownie bar I found on this food blog. But the cookie did nothing for me and was a ton of extra work so I dropped the cookie layer and made these on the next round and found the best homemade brownies I have ever had. Really very yummy. Fudge chocolate to the max. So dang good with a tall glass of milk!

Ingredients

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chips (whatever kind you like: milk chocolate, butterscotch, white...)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and center rack. Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan, line it with parchment paper and butter the paper too.

Melt the butter and both chocolate either with a double broiler or carefully in the microwave. melt until shiny and smooth. DO NOT LET IT GET TOO HOT! then in a large bowl beat the sugar and eggs on med-high speed for about 2 minutes, until pale thick and creamy. Beat in the salt and vanilla extract. Reduced speed to low and mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixing until incorporated. Scrape down the sides then add flour mixing only until it just barely mixed. With spatula mix in walnuts and chips. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out basically clean. Check at 20 minutes. Cool. Cut. Gorge!
