Fudge Brownies with Macadamia Nuts

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick foil; set aside.

Place the butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds, if needed to finish melting the chocolate.

Whisk in sugar, then eggs. Stir in flour and salt until smooth. Fold in 2/3 cup of the macadamia nuts and the vanilla. Transfer batter to prepared pan.

Bake for 25-29 minutes. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over brownies and return to oven for 2 minutes. Spread melted chips until smooth to form a “frosting”. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons nuts. Refrigerate one hour to firm chocolate, then cut into squares.
