Had some of these today at work, they were GORGEOUS!!

Ingredients
375 g soft unsalted butter
375 g best quality dark chocolate
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
500 g caster sugar
225 g plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
300 g chopped walnuts

Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 180C.
2 Line your approximatley 33 x 23 x 5 1/2cm brownie pan with foil or baking paper.
3 Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy based saucepan.
4 In a bowl beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.
5 Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
6 When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the eggs and sugar mixture, and then the nuts and flour.
7 Beat to combine and then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined brownie pan.
8 Bake for about 25 minutes.
9 When its's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle still dark and dense and gooey.
10 Keep checking the brownies as they cook; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool.

I usually use Delia for brownies, and they never work out as well as I hope, so will give this one a try.

Dave-good to have you back-drooling and all!
