Fudgy Brownies

1 cup butter
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups coarsely chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease a 13×9 baking pan.
In a saucepan, over very low heat, melt butter and chocolate, stirring constantly.
Remove pan from heat and stir sugar in. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well blended after addition of each egg.
Add the flour, salt and vanilla. Stir well.
Add the chopped nuts, if using. Blend well.
Pour mixture into greased pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely.

Enjoy!
