Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray a 9”x9” square baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt the 10 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons unflavored oil. Stir vigorously. (You can do this in the microwave, heating in 10 second intervals and stirring until everything is melted OR you can melt these ingredients together using a double boiler.)
Let the chocolate mixture cool for 10 minutes.
Add 14 tablespoons granulated sugar to the chocolate mixture. Mix vigorously with a whisk or a hand mixer. (Note: Mixing all the wet ingredients REALLY WELL is important.)
Add 3 eggs and 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
Measure in ¾ cup all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt, stirring until just combined.
Finally, mix in ¾ cup chopped walnuts and ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25-28 minutes or until cooked through. (If you're a fan of gooey brownies, check this around the 22-minute point.)
Enjoy with a glass of milk while the brownies are warm!
