Hawaiian Brownies Chocolate Macadamia Nuts Recipes

HAWAIIAN BROWNIES {CHOCOLATE + MACADAMIA NUTS}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan (I've only tested this recipe with a metal pan; you might want to decrease the oven temp to 325 if using glass). Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan or in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and 4 ounces chocolate. Melt over low heat (or microwave) until smooth, stirring often; don't let the mixture overheat. Let cool for a bit (lukewarm is fine, hot is not).
• Whisk in the eggs, salt and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour and macadamia nuts together until just combined.
• Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (add time as necessary if they take longer to bake).
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely.
• For the fudge topping, combine the 6 ounces chocolate and half and half (or cream) in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted, smooth, and glossy.
• Set aside for the topping to cool completely, stirring often if you want to speed up the process and avoid a skin forming on the surface.
• When cool but still spreadable, use an offset spatula or knife to spread the topping evenly over the cooled brownies.
• Sprinkle macadamia nuts on top.
• Chill until ready to serve.
