"Raspberry brownie recipe tweaked to suit my family's tastes. Note: the prep time includes freezing and thawing."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 35mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 16 brownies

ingredients

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 2 eggs
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 cup flour, heaping
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 3⁄8 cup raspberry jam
• 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts

directions

1. Melt choclate and butter. This can be done in the microwave, but I prefer doing it on the stove because I feel like I have more control over it.
2. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla.
3. If using the stovetop, remove the pan from heat and add eggs.
4. Add flour, stir until smooth and completely blended.
5. Add walnuts.
6. Pour half of the batter into a well-greased 8 X 8 inches baking dish.
7. Freeze for about a half an hour, or until you can poke the surface of the batter without your finger sinking inches.
8. Gently spread the jam with a butter knife and add the rest of the batter.
9. Let it thaw for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out relatively clean (remember there will be some jam on it!).
