Ooey, gooey, fudge brownies that are filled with chocolate and finely chopped walnuts. Chewy on the inside, while being crispy and crinkly on the outside like a brownie should be! Incredibly easy and incredibly decadent!

1/4cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4cupfinely chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper (or foil) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter with the white sugar and light brown sugar. Mix well and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
To a smaller bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
To the butter mixture, add the vanilla extract and eggs. Stir well to fully incorporated.
Add the flour mixture 1/4 of a cup at a time to the butter mixture and mix gently with a spatula. Mix just enough to remove any flour pockets, but not too much.
Gently fold in the chopped chocolate, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray or nonstick flour spray. Pour in the batter and smooth it out from corner to corner until evenly distributed.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should remove easily and relatively clean and the center should not jiggle.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring from pan to rack with the parchment paper. All to cool slightly before cutting - if you are patient enough! ;-)
Cut into 12 brownies and enjoy!
Notes
*I USED GHIRARDELLI SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE BAKING BAR. If you cannot find this brand, Bakers makes a semi-sweet chocolate baking bar. But I do recommend Ghirardelli!When spraying the parchment paper, you can use nonstick cooking spray or Pam Happy Baking Spray. The spray comes with flour in it and works splendidly to prevent sticking when it comes to baking!
