Simple and easy to bake. Thanks for sharing this. I am going to try this out for this weekend.
I made a half recipe, using black walnuts since I had about 5# to use up. Added vanilla and cherry extract, too. I forgot the baking powder!!! But based on the texture of the dough, I'm guessing it's going to be somewhat like shortbread. I'll follow up with a comment when they're baked and cooled.
Delicious brownies! I didn't change a thing in the recipe and it turned out great.
Batter is VERY thick, but turns out great. Didn't drizzle on the topping. Brownies are great warm but even better the next day!
Not as moist as traditional chocolate brownies but nice and chewy.
