Best Ever Brownies

• 12 oz. bittersweet chocolate
• 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter (3 sticks)
• 2 1/4 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• flake salt, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 325° F. 
2. Carefully line a 9x13” baking pan with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray. Set aside.
3. In a medium sized saucepan, warm the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring regularly until both are melted. 
4. Once melted set aside.
5. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. 
6. Pour in the melted chocolate and butter, and whisk again until smooth. 
7. Fold the flour, salt, and walnuts into the chocolate, just until everything is combined (do not over mix).
8. Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, until there are moist crumbs attached to the toothpick.

If the brownies are still not yet done at the 40 minute mark, continue baking in 3-5 minute increments until done.
