Shared with me by: Deb B (friend)

Ingredients

1 c. butter
2 c. white sugar
4 eggs
4-5 (1 oz.) packets of unsweetened pre-melted chocolate (see note below)
2 t. vanilla
1 c. all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/2 c. chopped walnuts, optional
1 c. chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

Thoroughly cream butter and sugar; add eggs and beat well. Blend in chocolate, vanilla and flour by hand. Mix nuts into batter.

Pour into a greased and floured 9x13” pan.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

NOTE: Neslte Choco Bake is no longer made. You can substitute 3 Tbls. of cocoa powder and 1 Tbls. of vegetable oil or butter to equal 1 envelope of Choco Bake. So for this recipe substitute 1 c. cocoa powder and 1/3 c. canola or vegetable oil (or 5 tablespoons plus 1 t. of additional butter) instead of using the Nestle Choco Bake packets.
