This is my mother’s recipe.  I have memories of coming home from school and smelling these brownies through the window.  

The chocolate combined with nuts is delicious yet the recipe is simple enough to make on a busy day.

2 baking squares of chocolate *

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 tsp  vanilla

2/3 cup flour

2 eggs

1/3 cup chopped nuts

• 1 square of baking chocolate equals 1 tbsp of butter and 3 tbsp of cocoa.

Place in an oval or square 8x 8 pan and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into the batter comes out clean.
