PREP: 15 minutes plus cooling

BAKE: about 25 minutes

MAKES: 2 dozen brownies

1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick), cut up

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces

2 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces

1 1/2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup all-purpose flour

Salt

1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9-by-9-inch metal baking pan; line with foil, extending foil above edge on 2 sides. Grease foil.

2. In 3-quart saucepan, heat butter and chocolates over medium-low heat until melted, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; stir until well-mixed. Stir flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt into chocolate mixture just until blended. Stir in nuts, if using. Spread batter in pan.

4. Cut cool brownie into 4 strips; cut each strip crosswise into 6 bars.

Editor's Note: We love these brownies with just about any nut. If you're craving more chunks, add 1 cup of dried cherries, raisins or chocolate chips to the batter.
