Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 sticks unsalted butter, plus extra to rub on parchment paper
Four 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup crushed pecans, walnuts and almonds
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a metal bowl or double boiler over it; make sure the bowl is not touching the water.

  • Line a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Rub the parchment paper with butter to prevent sticking. Then pour the brownie batter into the dish. Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove the brownies from the oven.

  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Cook and stir over high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a golden color.
  • Remove from the heat. Carefully whisk in the cream, half at a time. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Return to medium heat to melt any sugar lumps. Let cool.
