Maida Heatter's Barron's Brownies

As made by Lisa to be served with Bourbon and ice cream for a 1920's themed dinner.
Quite possibly the best fudgy brownie recipe around.
Makes 16

Ingredients

2 oz unsweetened chocolate
4 oz semisweet chocolate
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c sifted all-purpose flour
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325.
Line an 8 in square baking dish with aluminum foil, shiny side up.
Lightly butter foil.
In a large heavy saucepan combine first three ingredients and melt over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the next three ingredients.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Add the flour and stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny and comes away from the side of the pan, about 1 minutes.
Stir in nuts.
Pour into pans and smooth top.
Bake in bottom third of the oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
