Brownie Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and butter a 13×9 inch pan to prepare it for the brownie batter.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
-
Slowly whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
-
Stir in the flour, walnuts, and pure vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are set. Be careful not to overbake.
-
While the brownies are baking, prepare the fudge topping.
Fudge Directions:
-
In a large pot, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Boil the mixture for 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly.
-
Remove the pot from the heat and add the marshmallow creme and pure vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge.
-
Once the brownies are done baking, immediately pour the fudge topping over the brownie layer while it’s still hot, ensuring even coverage.
-
Cool the brownies with the fudge topping to room temperature, then place them in the freezer until firm.
-
Cut the chilled brownies into 1-inch squares using a very sharp knife. To achieve clean cuts, frequently dip the knife in a glass of hot water and wipe it off after each pass.
