Listen up folks. Now would be a fantastic time for you to loosen the belts on your pants, put your feet up and prepare to be wowed.
Last week I mentioned that Miss Viki’s banana bread was some of the best I’d ever eaten. Well. These brownies I am about to share with you are THE best brownies I have ever eaten in my entire life. These brownies are like sex on a plate. Single women would never think to look for a date if they could eat these brownies all the time.
Chocolatey goodness at its best. Prepare yourself for the wonder that is….
Duchess Allie’s Delicious Delectable Brownies
10 Tbsp butter
1 1/4c sugar
3/4c + 2Tbsp cocoa
dash salt
1/2 tsp pure vanilla
2 cold large eggs
1/2c flour
2/3c nuts (I use chopped Callebaut chocolate on the top instead)
Preheat oven to 325C
Line an 8in pan with foil or parchment paper (leave edges hanging over so that you can lift them out)
Combine butter, sugar, cocoa and salt in a double-boiler. stir until smooth and melted somewhat, and hot to the touch. remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Stir in vanilla (use wooden spoon or strong spatula). add eggs one at a time, beat well after each.
Keep stirring until well mixed, smooth and shiny. Add flour and stir until mixed in, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes. mix in nuts, if using. spread into pan evenly!
Bake until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with batter, 20-25mins. Cool completely on a rack. Lift out and cut on a board, makes 16 or 25 squares… or less!
Best eaten warm or served with ice cream! 
Thanks to my dear friend Allie for sharing the recipe for Tasty Tuesday. These are truly the best brownies ever made!!
