chocolate and lots of it.

   

It's been too long. I have wanted to bake the past couple of weekend but like to try new recipes and just couldn't decide what to make. I was in a very chocolatly mood so created these. The texture is a combo of a fudge brownie, a chocolate chess pie and a truffle.

    (brown sugar is love)
   
   
4. Add in flour, cocoa powder, and salt and mix until just combined.

   for the filling:
6. 7. mix together granulated sugar, maple syrup, butter, vanilla, until combined 
   
   
   
   8. Add in the eggs, cocoa powder, salt and mix until well combined.
   9. mix in chocolate chips and walnuts.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   10. Pour batter over crust.
   
   
   
   11. Place back in oven for another 30-40 minutes (and I turned oven up to 340 after about 25 mins) or until slightly browned and crackly on top ( will be very gooey).
   
   
   

Let cool to cut and enjoy!
