The outcome of the combined combo of Ina's Outrageous Brownies and her peanut butter brownies. If you compare both recipes, it is actually the same except one uses walnuts and the other substitutes it with peanut butter.
Me thinks I've been consuming one too may 3-in-1 instant coffees, haha!
Was all set to try out another recipe when her's rolled up. And since I'm a big fan of hers, the decision was set.
If you are allergic to nuts, just omit the nuts as it is still a good recipe or perhaps substitute it with cream cheese, yum that would be a great combo too!! ;)
Brownies may seem easy to bake but actually it is the more challenging one compared to a chocolate cake. A properly baked brownie is done when it is slightly crisp on the outside but soft, damp and squidgy within. If you have been baking cakes, your automatic logic would usually insist that you bake until the skewer comes out clean instead, if you do, tendency is that you would have over-baked it. So turn off your auto mode when baking brownies. :)
Needless to say, it was gorgeous. But if I had to do this again, maybe I might split the pan to 50:50 - walnuts:peanut butter, just for the yin-yang contrast and let guests decide whether they want theirs with walnut or peanut butter. In my crowd, they'll probably just insist on the combo!!

Ingredients
453g unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups chopped walnuts
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 170C degrees.
2. Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.
