Taya's Ultimate Brownies

OK, it's time for some brownies, not just any brownies but the best you have ever had.  When I need a chocolate fix it's these brownies or I just may not make it!  You are going to love them, I guarantee it!  Remember, if you over cook the brownies it's just a good excuse for your favorite ice cream or gelato to be put on top.  Saves it every time as long as the brownies aren't carbon, but even if the brownies are perfect, there's no reason you can't put the good stuff on top anyway!!  As always, enjoy!!!!!

1 pound organic butter, yes, that's 4 sticks
1 1/2 pounds organic chocolate, chopped-your favorite kind-I like dark chocolate
1 cup organic flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
6 organic eggs
2 1/2 cups organic sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 tablespoons instant coffee mixed with 2 tablespoons warm water
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 cup walnut halves, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a large 11 x 15 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with organic butter. In a double boiler, melt the butter with the chopped chocolate over low heat. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar at medium-high speed until pale and thick, 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, coffee, and Kahlua. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Beat in the melted chocolate at medium speed. Using a spoon, stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the center of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the top is shiny and lightly cracked, the edges are set and the center is still a bit jiggly. Transfer the dish to a rack and let cool completely. These are completely decadent. Enjoy!
