Walnut Brownies

Chocolate brownies are one of my go-to desserts during the week. I don’t look for a special occasion to make dessert. It’s typical for me to make dessert several times a week. Needless to say, I have a giant sweet tooth. 

Walnuts are my favorite and these candied walnuts are my favorite snack and make a great homemade gift. If you love walnuts, give them a try.

One Bowl Walnut Brownies

I love this one- bowl brownies recipe because it’s so easy to make. It’s also an easy recipe to customize. I added toasted walnuts and caramel chips. You don’t have to add nuts or extras but I love adding chocolate chips, nuts, and caramel of any kind.

I get some pretty serious chocolate cravings and really brownies are the ultimate fix. Once I made these brownies, I was hooked at making brownies with melted chocolate. The better quality chocolate you use, the better brownies you will get. 

I rarely have good chocolate. It isn’t readily available at our small town grocery stores and I am pretty darn happy with the results of using semi sweet chocolate chips. I really like Ghirardelli but more often I have Nestlé on hand. 

If I’m making fudgy cocoa brownies, these Chocolate Glazed Brownies are really decadent and delicious. I love serving them chilled.

How to Make Brownies Fudgy:

When it comes to brownies, I’m never going to turn one away but I prefer a fudgy brownie to a cakey brownie. Fudgy brownies will have a larger fat content than flour content. So more butter and chocolate than flour. 

More Brownie Recipes to Try:

My Brownie Pudding Pie is a must-try for chocolate lovers. Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies are topped with M&M’s and so irresistible.  Dr Pepper Brownies are always a crowd favorite and really easy to make. These Mocha Brownie Trifles are a fabulous make ahead dessert.

Best Tools for Making Brownies:

  • Mixing Bowls ~ my favorite all purpose mixing bowls and these are microwave safe. Love that they have lids!
  • Wooden Spoons ~ Probably the most used utensil in my kitchen. I use them for everything. 
  • Egg Tray ~ I love this cute egg tray, so handy for letting my eggs come to room temperature for baking. 
  • Analon Square Baking Pan ~ My go-to brownie pan!
  • Brownie Spatula ~ One of the handiest spatulas, perfect for desserts.
