Chocolate Brownies

 -Makes 24
These chocolate brownies are so seriously chewy and delicious that you will never ever use another brownie recipe again. So good that my kids asked for these each year on their birthday, instead of cupcakes for school. Although, they are just as delicious without nuts, the addition of walnuts takes them to a whole new level. Simply fold in a cup of chopped walnuts into the batter before transferring it into the pan for baking.
