Choc Nut Brownies are the ultimate treat for chocolate and nut lovers alike. This recipe combines the richness of milk chocolate, the earthy essence of hazelnuts and pecans, and the velvety goodness of butter and cocoa powder to create a decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are preparing for a family gathering, a party, or simply satisfying a chocolate craving, these brownies are sure to delight everyone's palate.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fragrant and the skins start to crack. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Rub the hazelnuts together in a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Roughly chop both the hazelnuts and pecans, then set them aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly mix the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Gently fold the chopped hazelnuts and pecans into the batter.
- Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan. Spread the batter evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture).
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, cut them into squares.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Nut Brownies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder to enhance the rich, chocolatey flavor of your brownies.
- Toast the hazelnuts and pecans before adding them to the batter to bring out their natural oils and deepen their flavor.
- Let the melted butter and chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking in the warm mixture.
- Be cautious not to overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can result in tough brownies.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring they are fudgy rather than dry.
