Double Chocolate Walnut Pecan Brownies
"From Dr. Gerard Bertolino, who was doing locum tenens back home in Louisiana. My mom didn't eat brownies, but ate his! Now in TN, my family watches the SUGAR, so I substituted Splenda for the sugar. Nothing went to (waist) LOL!, Even the crumbs were gathered and put on top of vanilla ice cream!"
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
15
ingredients
- 4 ounces chocolate squares
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar (I use Splenda and cut back to 1 1/2C)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups walnuts or 1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped, put aside 1/2 cup
- 1 (6 ounce) bag chocolate chips
directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour 13" x 9" pan.
- Melt the chocolate squares and butter in saucepan, then remove from heat.
- Let cool so Splenda sugar won't get hard and lump and eggs won't cook when added.
- After adding sugar, gradually add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla and mix.
- Stir in the flour gradually.
- Mix until well blended and add 1 cup of chopped nuts.
- Mix and spread into greased pan.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup nuts and the chocolate chips, spread over the top of the brownie batter.
- Depending on the size you cut to how many or less you'll have, so I'm guessing on servings!

My daughter enjoys making these (with the real sugar but without the nuts - she's not a nut girl).

I've relocated to Nashville from Louisiana lived with family for awhile but in my own place in Hermitage, TN . My mother collected cookbooks and I've continued her passion! My favorite cookbook is from my mom, I picked her brain for all her recipes, before she went to heaven. Had fun deciphering if the handful she showed was a cup, or just enough to cover bottom of pot would be WHAT! I now work at a large hospital in the Reference Lab and have people already drooling over the things they hear I can cook!!!! Love the ocean, walking on the beach, or in the woods and mountains, anything to do with water. Like doing a lot of different crafts for my church, sewing,quilting, traveling and of course COOKING!
