Chewy Chocolate Bars

This is a spin-off of blonde brownies, with a few additions. I created it in 2004 for the Bush-Kerry debates, because heavy infusions of chocolate were the only thing that could get us through. Maybe "Brown is Beautiful" bars?
Ingredients
- 1 pound (that’s right, one pound) brown sugar shopping list
- 2/3 cup butter, melted (must be butter, no marg.) shopping list
- 3 eggs shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 1/3-1/2 cup good-quality unsweetened cocoa shopping list
- 2 1/4 cups flour shopping list
- 2 teaspoon baking powder shopping list
- ½ teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 cup chocolate chips (bits of chopped chocolate, whatever you prefer) shopping list
- 1 cup broken nuts (I prefer them broken into pieces by hand—the flavor is better. walnuts or pecans are good.) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 ° (230 ° C). Find a baking pan with sides, 9”x13”.
- Mix butter into the sugar until the mixture is smooth and light.
- Add vanilla, then eggs, one at a time, mixing until the mixture is smooth each time. It should be light and smooth and a touch stiff.
- Add the dry ingredients (you don’t have to sift them or anything) and continue mixing, again until smooth.
- Stir in the additional chocolate and the nuts.
- Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out oily with very moist crumbs.
- Do not over-bake—fudgy is better than dry.
- Let rest 10 minutes, turn out of the pan, and cut into small squares.
