Preparation

Over very low heat, melt together butter and chocolate. (Watch carefully, because it burns easily.) Remove from heat. Stir in flout and vanilla.

With electric mixer, whip eggs and sugar until mixture resembles a yellow ribbon. Blend in chocolate mixture on slow speed. Stir in walnuts. Spread butter in greased 9-by-13-inch pan and a greased 7- or 8-inch square pan.

Bake in 350-degree oven for 35 minutes for large pan, 30 minutes for small pan. Do not overbake.
