A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with
butter or vegetable oil. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a
double boiler placed over simmering water. Cool the mixture for 5 minutes.
Place the sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate
mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended, about
25 seconds. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the vanilla. With
the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one at a time, blending after
each addition until the yolk is broken and dispersed, about 10 seconds.
Scrape the bowl after the last egg and blend until velvety, about 15 more
seconds.
Add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing by
hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl. Stir in
1/2 cup of the nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and
sprinkle the remaining 2 Tbsp of nuts over the top. Bake the brownies on
the center oven rack until a thin crust forms on top and a tester inserted
in the center comes out with a moist crumb, about 35 minutes. (The center
of the brownies should never quite rise to the height of the edges.)
Remove pan from oven and place on a rack to cool for 1 hour.
FROSTING: To prepare the frosting, melt the chocolate in the top of a
double boiler placed over simmering water. Pour the evaporated milk into an
electric blender and add the sugar and the melted chocolate. Blend the
frosting on medium-low speed until it thickens, about 50 seconds (the sound
of the machine will change when this process occurs.)
Using a frosting spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the surface of
the cooled brownies and allow them to sit for 1 hour before cutting. Makes
36 small brownies.
