Recipe: Quadruple Fudge Brownies

QUADRUPLE FUDGE BROWNIES

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp. orange juice
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

In a heavy saucepan, bring butter, sugar and orange juice to a boil (it should bubble vigorously around edges).

Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups of chips, stirring until the chips melt.

While the chocolate mixture slightly cools, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the nuts; set aside.

To the cooled chocolate mixture, add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon. Fold in the remaining cup of chips and pour the batter into the pan.

Bake for 30 minutes.
