Instructions
- Measure the butter, chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate into a medium saucepan set on the stove over low heat. Let the chocolate and butter melt, stirring constantly until completely smooth. Remove from heat, and let the chocolate mixture cool for just a few minutes.
- Now, add the sugar, eggs, flour, nuts and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Spread the batter evenly into a well-greased 8 in. (20 cm) square baking pan. Place the pan into a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes—until set in the middle, but not dry.
- Let cool—if you can—before sprinkling with icing sugar and cutting into squares.
