Almond Fudge Brownies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chopped almonds
– 1 cup fudge pieces
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped almonds and fudge pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
