Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with shortening.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla, and nuts.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using high-quality dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. If you’re out of butter, coconut oil can be a great substitute. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts and consider adding chocolate chips for extra sweetness. Make sure to not overmix the batter after adding the eggs to keep the brownies fudgy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious dessert. They pair wonderfully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, consider serving alongside a slice of Judge Ray Lee Jenkins' Special Brown Sugar Pound Cake for a delightful dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat that feels fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes, you can use semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Just ensure to adjust the sugar in the recipe accordingly, as these chocolates are typically sweeter than unsweetened chocolate.
What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana for each egg. This will keep the brownies moist and add a hint of natural sweetness.
How can I tell when the brownies are done baking?
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're perfect. If it comes out wet, bake for a few more minutes, but be careful not to overbake.
