Dark Fudge Brownies
2 WW Points Per Serving
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate,
coarsely chopped, plus 2 1/2 ounces chopped
into mini chip-size pieces, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup, blended with 3 tablespoons lukewarm water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Directions:
1. Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line an 8-inch-square
baking pan with foil, letting it overhang on two opposing sides. Coat with
cooking spray.
2. Sift flour, confectioners’ sugar and cocoa together into a small bowl.
Combine the 3 ounces coarsely chopped chocolate and oil in a heavy medium
saucepan; place over the lowest heat, stirring, until just melted and smooth,
being very careful the chocolate does not overheat. Remove from the heat and
stir in granulated sugar, corn syrup mixture, vanilla and salt until the sugar
dissolves. Vigorously stir in egg until smoothly incorporated. Gently stir in the
dry ingredients. Fold in the walnuts (if using) and the remaining 2 1/2 ounces
chopped chocolate just until well blended. Turn out the batter into the pan,
spreading evenly.
3. Bake the brownies until almost firm in the center and a toothpick inserted
comes out with some moist batter clinging to it, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool
completely on a wire rack, about 2 1/2 hours.
4. Using the overhanging foil as handles, carefully lift the brownie slab from the
pan. Peel the foil from the bottom; set the slab right-side up on a cutting board.
Using a large, sharp knife, trim off any dry edges. Mark and then cut the slab
crosswise into fifths and lengthwise into fourths. Wipe the blade with a damp
cloth between cuts.
