This was adapted from a recipe for chocolate globs in the Soho Charcuterie Cookbook.
Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted butter
- 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

I can't keep up with the requests for these. When I retired to my condo at beach February there are not a lot of people in our complex, so I thought it would be a good idea to make these and take to the Fire and Police Departments, just let them know I am here and keep an eye out in here. Have you seen grown men cry? I make for my best friend when she comes and indiviually wrap them so she can freeze and have when she wants. These are worth the time and money of good ingredients to make these. THE BEST OF THE BEST.

I have never made home made brownies before, but after making this recipe, I will never make boxed brownies again! These brownies just explode with flavors and are fabulous. I halved the recipe and it made plenty!

These are, without a doubt, the best brownies I have ever made. I have made them to bring to functions, and have always been asked for the recipe. I follow the recipe to the letter, and it is not difficult to make, and always comes out perfect. I have made it both ways, with and without nuts, and both are spectacular!
