Pinch of salt

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (I use sugar twin brown)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup packed brown sugar or 1 cup brown Sugar Twin
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon coffee or 1 tablespoon water, plus
2 teaspoons coffee or 2 teaspoons water
1 whole halved walnuts, to place on iced squares

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350f degrees.
Base layer.
Measure all base layer ingredients into bowl, crumble together until mealy.
Press into ungreased 9 x 9 inch oven proof dish.
Set aside.
Middle layer.
Beat eggs until foamy; add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
Spread over bottom layer; bake in 350f degree oven for 30 minutes.
Top layer, icing.
Beat together well in small bowl all icing ingredients.
Add more liquid if needed to spread easily.

Place one whole, half walnut to indicate squares for cutting, so that the half walnut is in the middle of each square.
Cut into squares.

Tips:

Prepare the baking pan in advance: Before starting the recipe, grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the chocolate walnut squares once they are baked.
Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of the final product. Opt for a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense chocolate walnut squares. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly squares. Keep a close eye on the squares as they bake and remove them from the oven as soon as they are done.

Conclusion:

Chocolate walnut squares consist of several layers of delicious flavors. From the chocolatey, nutty goodness, to the gooey caramel in the middle, this dessert satisfies all cravings! With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make these delectable treats in the comfort of your own home. So, grab your apron and let's get baking!
