1
Prep: Take your eggs out of the refrigerator a couple of hours before you make the dish.
2
Toast your walnuts in the oven for about 12-15 minutes.
3
Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
4
Preheat the oven to 350F.
5
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave (see Notes).
6
Transfer the chocolate-butter mixture to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
7
Use a cutting board and chefs knife to coarsely chop the toasted walnuts.
8
Using either the whisk attachment of a stand mixer or a hand mixer on medium speed, mix the sugar and salt into the chocolate-butter mixture while it is still hot.
9
In four alternating batches, add the flour and eggs (one at a time) into the chocolate-butter mixture with the mixer running on medium speed.
10
Add the vanilla until it is thoroughly combined.
11
Bake the brownies at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm throughout.
12
Let the brownies cool and then cut into 2-inch squares.
13
Add desired toppings and serve.

Okay, so maybe there is one thing better than my Moms browniesthose brownies with ice cream on top!
15
Load up this sundae with ice cream, fudge sauce, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, and fresh fruit.
16
Dont forget to warm up the brownie before making your sundae, and I recommend using Haagen Dazs or Ben & Jerrys vanilla ice cream and the Barefoot Contessas fudge sauce.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
