Ingredients

Scale

Brownies:

  • ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp (150g) chopped dark chocolate [1]
  • 1 cup + 3 ½ Tbsp (275g) unsalted butter, cubed & room temp
  • ¾ cup + 1 Tbsp (100g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups + 1 Tbsp (360g) granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 5 large eggs, lightly beaten & room temp
  • 2 cups (225g) chopped walnuts

Glaze:

  • ½ cup (150g) peach (or apricot) preserves
  • 2 Tbsp (28g) water

Celebratory Decoration:

  • Let Them Eat Candles Chocolate Candle

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9" x 12" baking sheet with parchment paper. (We used this quarter sheet pan.)
  2. In a medium heatproof bowl, melt chocolate and butter in microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each zap. Microwave until mixture is mostly melted. Remove bowl from microwave and continue mixing to combine and melt the rest of the chocolate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients, then pour in melted chocolate mixture. Whisk for 4–5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs together. Pour into brownie mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour brownie batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula or the backside of a spoon. (Yes, your pan will be very full.) Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top, gently pressing them into the batter.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes. Brownies are done when they have puffed up slightly and their edges are set. The centre will still be a wee bit moist.
  7. Transfer pan to wire rack. Allow brownies to cool for 30 minutes.
  8. While brownies are cooling, make the glaze. In a small pot over medium heat, combine peach preserves and water. Stirring regularly, cook mixture for about 3 minutes, letting it boil and thicken slightly. Pour glaze through a sieve into a small heatproof bowl. [2]
  9. While brownies are still warm, brush all over with hot glaze.
  10. Once brownies and glaze are totally cool, remove from pan by pulling up on parchment paper. Cut into 24 squares. [3]
  11. Pop a Let Them Eat Candles chocolate candle into the brownie for the birthday person! Light, wish, eat!

Notes

  1. We used Nói Síríus 56% bittersweet chocolate, our favourite.
  2. Save any chunks of discarded fruit from the preserves! Store in a small jar in the fridge and enjoy mixed into your morning yoghurt or oatmeal.
  3. To get super clean cuts, you may need to put cooled brownies into freezer for 20–30 minutes before cutting.
