Dessert

Yield:

Ingredients:

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
2 eggs
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped walnuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt chocolate with butter in small saucepan over low heat, set aside.

Beat eggs until foamy in a large bowl; beat in sugar gradually until fluffy-thick. (This will take about 10 minutes.) Stir in vanilla, and chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, salt and walnuts. Spread mixture in a greased
8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan.

Bake 30 minutes, or until shiny and firm on top. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. To serve, cut into 2-inch squares.

For a special Valentine's Day treat, cut brownies using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. To make an extra special serving, drizzle chocolate sauce on plate, then place one heart-shaped brownie in center. Top with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, then place another heart-shaped brownie on top. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, and drizzle additional chocolate sauce, if desired. Serve with a whole, fresh strawberry for garnish. Enjoy!
