Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for pan
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 1/2 cups walnuts
Powdered sugar, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a 9 by 9 square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure paper hangs over the edges. Grease paper with butter so the brownies don't stick. Melt butter and chocolate over a double-boiler and stir gently until smooth and shiny. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and set aside. Whisk together eggs, sugar and amaretto in a mixing bowl until combined. Pour in chocolate mixture and continue to whisk until combined. Gradually add flour mixture, then add walnuts and incorporate with a wooden spoon. Transfer batter to baking pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pan. When done, invert onto a cutting board, remove paper and cut into squares. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve.

The BEST!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these for my husband and friends and they were a hit!! Was very glad that I looked over the reviews. Went to a 9 x 13... pan, baked for 60 minutes and went with 3 teaspoons instead of 2 on the amaretto. Would make this recipe again in a heartbeat. Took awhile to find bittersweet chocolate chips, but glad I didn't substitute them.Read more

Unpleasantly gooy
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I am a big fan of Tyler's show and recipes, but every once in awhile what you see on TV and what is posted on FoodNetwork are... not the same thing. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of switching pecons for walnuts and adding 15 minutes more cook time. The crust was great, but the inside was so gooy that it was practically a molten cake. The flavor was great, and the gooiness didn't slow down the granddaughters on bit.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Again, another winner from Tyler Florence! I finally found an easy brownie recipe that I love. Amaretto and walnuts (two of... my favorite flavors in the world)...how can you go wrong?Read more

The taste is amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I LOVE these browies. However, mine also aren't quite done in the middle and my batter sunk down after I pulled it out of the... oven to cool. It also crumbles terribly when I cut it into pieces. However, it tastes Oh So Good!Read more

The best brownie ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Having read the reviews I also opted to use a 9 x 13 pan instead of 9 x 9. Think if I had used the 9 x 9 the brownies would... have come out too thick. I did not have amaretto to hand but instead used 2 tbls of Kahlua which complimented the chocolate perfectly. The brownies came out rich and chocolatey, very moist and very gooey....yum! Although I had difficulty cutting these neatly, the taste far outweighed the clumsy appearance. This recipe has to be the best brownie recipe I have come across to date! Read more

AMAZING BROWNIES!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just tried Tyler's Brownie recipe on a very stormy, rainy day! Not wanting to venture outside, I substituted Chambord... for the Amaretto I didn't have....YUM!!! I also added 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips to the mixture. I did add chopped the walnuts as well. I used a 9x13 pan as I have had bad experiences in the past with trying to bake brownies in a 9x9 pan....bakes way too long and never really gets past gooey. Also, I have 3 sons...so the more I can make the better! I baked them at 350 for about 38 min. The brownies have a nice crust on top and are pretty thick even though I used a 9x13 pan. I am definitely going to make this recipe and will add Kahlua, Bailey's, Godiva....possibilities are endless! HAPPY BAKING! nancyRead more
