Ingredients

1 1/4	cups	flour, all-purpose
1/4	teaspoon	baking soda
1/8	teaspoon	baking powder	double acting
1/8	teaspoon	salt
14	ounces	chocolate (semi-sweet)	semi-sweet, finely chopped
1	cup	sugar	granulated
9	tablespoons	butter	cut
1/4	cup	corn syrup, light
1/4	cup	water
3	large	eggs	chilled
1	tablespoon	vanilla extract
1 1/2	cups	walnuts	coarsely chopped
9	ounces	dark chocolate	swiss, cut

Directions

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.

Line a 13-by-9 1/2-inch baking pan with a double thickness of aluminum foil so that the foil extends 2 inches beyond the two short ends of the pan.

Fold the overhang down along the sides of the pan.

Butter the bottom of the foil-lined pan.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Place the semisweet chocolate in a large bowl.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and water.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the butter melts, the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.

Remove the pan from the heat and pour the hot syrup over the chocolate.

Let the mixture stand for 1 to 2 minutes, to melt the chocolate.

Whisk until smooth.

One at a time, whisk in the eggs, blending until smooth.

Whisk in the vanilla and the flour mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in 1 cup of the walnuts and 6 ounces of the Swiss chocolate chunks.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts and 3 ounces of chocolate chunks over the top of the batter.

Bake the brownies for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

Cool the brownies in the pan set on a wire rack.

When the brownies are completely cool, cover the pan of brownies with plastic wrap and let the brownies set at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Invert the brownies onto a large plate or cutting board.

Remove the pan and carefully peel off the foil.

Invert again onto a smooth cutting surface and cut into 24 bars.

Store the brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days.

Peanut Streusel Pie

This is a great old recipe. In my family we also called it Uncle Jr's Favorite Pie. I like it made with crunchy peanut butter, and a butterscotch filling rather than the cream filling.
