Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 36
• 3 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, plus
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/3 cup sugar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350f; lightly grease and 8-inch square pan with butter or vegetable oil.
• 2 melt the 3 1/2 ounces of chocolate and 12 t butter in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water; cool the mixture for 5 minutes; place 1 1/2 cups sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate mixture; using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended, about 25 seconds; scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• 3 add the vanilla; with the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition until the yolk is broken and dispersed, about 10 seconds; scrape the bowl after the last egg and blend until velvety, about 15 more seconds.
• 4 add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing by hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl; stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts.
• 5 spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 t of nuts over the top.
• 6 bake the brownies on the center oven rack until a thin crust forms on top and a tester inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb, 25 to 30 minutes.
• 7 remove the pan from the oven and place it on a rack to cool for 1 hour before cutting the brownies; serve the next day (it takes a day for the flavor to set) and don't forget the tall glass of milk.
• 8 for the chocolate orgasms, do not cut the brownies, but allow them to cool completely.
• 9 the prepare the frosting, melt the 1 1/2 ounces of chocolate in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water.
• 10 pour the evaporated milk into an electric blender and add the sugar and the melted chocolate; blend the frosting on medium-low speed until it thickens, about 50 seconds (the sound of the machine will change when this process occurs).
• 11 using a frosting spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the surface of the cooled brownies and allow them to sit for 1 hour before cutting.
