Servings: persons

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup California walnuts, chopped

1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with foil.
2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate for about 45 seconds on high power. Stir and continue heating in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
3
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. If still very hot, let cool slightly before adding in the vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolk. Stir until very well combined.
4
Add in the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in the walnuts. The batter will be thick.
5
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
6
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

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.
