Walnut Brownies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
YIELD: 8 brownies.
I LEARNED to make these brownies in 1957 in home economics class. They were the first goodies I'd ever baked by myself.
Now, 40 years later, I still make a batch occasionally. The recipe calls for basic ingredients on hand in most every kitchen, and the rich chocolate flavor is delicious.
