Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13″ pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. For best results, use a metal pan.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, about 6 minutes, until it becomes brown in color. It will foam, reduce, then foam again. Once it’s done cooking the foam is a light brown and it will dissipate after you remove it from the heat. Once it starts to brown, keep stirring so it doesn’t burn. Once it gets to an amber color, turn off the flame.
Add baking chocolate to the butter and stir until the chocolate is melted. Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and cocoa and stir until combined. Stir in flour then stir in walnuts.
Pour brownie batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes until a toothpick along the edge comes out with just a few crumbs. This results in very fudgy gooey brownies. Cool before slicing into bars.

Do the toothpick test 2-inches from the side of the pan (not in the dcenter) before taking out your brownies from the oven. Your toothpick should come out with a few crumbs for you to know it’s ready.
If you want an extra chocolatey treat (we all do), add about a cup of chocolate chips to your fudge walnut brownies.
Add pecans instead of walnuts (or almonds or even peanuts).
For best results, bake these in a metal pan.
