Chocolate Buttermilk Brownies

These have replaced my previous favorites; this is now officially my favorite brownie recipe.

Buttermilk Chocolate Brownies

3/4 cup butter
4 squares (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
healthy pinch of salt
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Microwave butter and chocolate in bursts, stirring between bursts, don't let it burn. When mixture is melted and smooth, add sugar, stir, then add eggs, one at a time, stirring in between. Stir in salt, vanilla, and buttermilk. Add flour and walnuts. Stir.

Smooth into a greased 9x13 baking dish. I put a cup of chocolate chips on top but thought it was overkill. Other eaters did not agree. Bake for about half an hour.
