Ingredients
-
1 bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

2 eggs
-
1 cup flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with nonstick aluminum foil.

Combine 1 cup of the chocolate chips (half the bag) and butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Whisk in sugar, then eggs. Stir in flour and salt until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts and the vanilla. Transfer batter to prepared pan.

Bake brownie 350 degree oven for 23 to 25 minutes. Finely chop remaining 2 tablespoons walnuts.
4.
Sprinkle remaining 1 cup chocolate chips over brownie and return to oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven, and spread melted chips until smooth, to form a "frosting." Top with finely chopped walnuts.
