Ghirardelli Award Winning Brownies

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
3/4 cup Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate & Cocao (this is actually cheaper than normal cocao at Walmart)
2/3 cup unsifted flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
1 cup 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips (optional)


Preheat oven to 350 F.  Using a spoon, stir eggs with sugar and vanilla; add butter.  Sift Sweet Ground Chocolate with flour, baking powder, and salt.  Stir into egg mixture; add nuts.  Stir in chips.  Spread into a greased 8 inch or 9 inch square pan.  Bake 20-30 minutes 

For extra chewy brownies, use 8 inch pan and less baking time.  For cake-like brownies, use 9 inch pan and longer baking time.  Cut into squares.  Makes 16-20 brownies.
