Ingredients

5

oz unsweetened baking chocolate

2/3

cup butter or margarine

1 3/4

cups sugar

2

teaspoons vanilla

3

eggs

1

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1

cup chopped nuts

1

cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)

1

                        container (1 lb) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 9-inch square pan with shortening. In 1-quart saucepan, melt baking chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently; remove from heat. Cool slightly.

In large bowl, beat sugar, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on high speed 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in chocolate mixture. Beat in flour just until blended. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Spread in pan.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or just until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Spread with chocolate frosting. For regular brownies, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows; for mega-size brownies, cut into 3 rows by 3 rows.
