Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, but really good)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (or you can do what we did and substitute chocolate chips)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Melt butter and chocolate together over a double boiler.

3. When melted, remove from heat and beat in sugar with a hand mixer.

4. Beat in eggs, vanilla and espresso powder (I used instant coffee powder, because that’s what I had).

5. Sift in the salt and flour and beat to incorporate.

6. Lastly, stir in nuts or chocolate chips, if using.

7. Line a square pan with parchment paper and pour batter in.

8. Bake for 30-33 minutes.
