Walnut Brownies
Chocolate brownies are one of my go-to desserts during the week. I don’t look for a special occasion to make dessert. It’s typical for me to make dessert several times a week. Needless to say, I have a giant sweet tooth.
Walnuts are my favorite and these candied walnuts are my favorite snack and make a great homemade gift. If you love walnuts, give them a try.

I love this one- bowl brownies recipe because it’s so easy to make. It’s also an easy recipe to customize. I added toasted walnuts and caramel chips. You don’t have to add nuts or extras but I love adding chocolate chips, nuts, and caramel of any kind.
How to Make Walnut Brownies:
- Add butter and chocolate chips to a bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Add sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Next, add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Coarsely chop walnuts and add along with caramel chips and mix into brownie batter.
- Pour into a lined or greased square baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Sprinkle with flake sea salt and cool 20 minutes before slicing.
- Store cooled brownies in an airtight container.

I get some pretty serious chocolate cravings and really brownies are the ultimate fix. Once I made these brownies, I was hooked at making brownies with melted chocolate. The better quality chocolate you use, the better brownies you will get.
I rarely have good chocolate. It isn’t readily available at our small town grocery stores and I am pretty darn happy with the results of using semi sweet chocolate chips. I really like Ghirardelli but more often I have Nestlé on hand.
If I’m making fudgy cocoa brownies, these Chocolate Glazed Brownies are really decadent and delicious. I love serving them chilled.
How to Make Brownies Fudgy:
When it comes to brownies, I’m never going to turn one away but I prefer a fudgy brownie to a cakey brownie. Fudgy brownies will have a larger fat content than flour content. So more butter and chocolate than flour.

Hi,
Does the butter have to be salted?
Also, do I add any salt at all in the recipe? Thanks!
Hi Mila,
Unsalted butter works just fine. You can add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
