Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325Β°F (162Β°C) degrees.
-
Melt chocolate and butter together in a large bowl (You can do this in the microwave or using a double boiler for a more traditional approach).
-
Add sugars; mix well until fully combined, creating a smooth mixture.
-
Incorporate eggs and vanilla into the mixture, stirring until the batter is uniform in texture and appearance.
-
Gradually add flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well blended and no lumps remain.
-
Fold in the walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for that perfect nutty crunch.
-
Pour the batter into a greased 13×9-inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
-
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares for serving.
Frosting
-
In a separate bowl, melt chocolate and butter together until smooth and glossy.
-
Stir in the evaporated milk until fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.
-
Continue to beat the frosting for an additional 3 minutes, or until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
-
Once the brownies are cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top using a spatula or knife.
-
For added flair, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or shaved chocolate on top of the frosting before it sets for an extra indulgent touch.
