Fudgy Brownies

Imagine the aroma in your home while THESE are baking!! Holy Moly. And, you can customize them to your taste like with powdered sugar on top, or you can add in peanut butter chips, salted caramel, etc. etc. etc. And, please remember to read the recipe all the way through before embarking on this culinary adventure!!
(makes 12 brownies)

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (I only use Kerrygold!*)
2 oz. semisweet dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup sugar (I use turbinado sugar - Sugar in the Raw*)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1&1/2 t. vanilla (I use pure vanilla*)
3 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (to make these Gluten Free - use potato flour*)
3/4 t. sea* salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray (I use coconut oil*)

Preheat oven to 350. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a pan set over low heat. Stir in the sugar, cocoa, and vanilla and remove from the heat. Add the eggs, flour baking powder, and salt and whisk until smooth. Stir in the walnuts if using. Pour the batter into an 8x8" baking pan coated with a bit of nonstick spray. Spread the batter out into an even layer. Bake for 20-25 min., until a toothpick inserted int he center comes out nearly clean. If you like your brownies less fudgy, bake a few extra minutes, until the toothpick comes out perfectly clean.
