(Dave Joslin’s Mom's recipe)
1 cup margarine or butter
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt butter and chocolate together. Take off heat (or out of microwave!). Using a wire whisk, beat in sugar until thoroughly combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each. Stir in vanilla, then flour and 1 cup of the nuts until mixed. Spread in greased 9x13 inch pan. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup nuts and chocolate chips together. Sprinkle on dough and press in lightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
You can use 3 tablespoons cocoa and 1 tablespoon butter/margarine for EACH square of chocolate. (This means 12 tablespoons cocoa and 4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup butter/margarine.) If you do this, just melt the butter/margarine and then add the cocoa and then continue with the rest of the recipe.
