1
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it together with the butter in a double boiler, constantly stirring with a spatula or a wooden spoon. Remove the resulting thick chocolate sauce from the double boiler and let it cool.
2
Meanwhile, combine the eggs with 100 g of brown sugar: crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them, gradually adding the sugar. You can whisk with a mixer or by hand—whichever you prefer—but do so for at least two‑and‑a‑half to three minutes.
3
Chop the walnuts on a cutting board with a sharp knife. You can pre‑toast them in a dry skillet until they become aromatic, but that's optional.
4
Carefully add the remaining sugar to the cooled melted chocolate with butter, then add the flour and ground nuts, and mix everything well with a whisk.
5
Then pour in the sugar‑egg mixture and thoroughly combine it with the chocolate mass. The batter’s color should be uniform, without streaks.
6
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line the bottom of a small, deep, heat‑proof pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Pour the batter into the pan. Place it in the oven and bake for twenty‑five to thirty minutes until a sugary crust forms.
7
Take the finished cake out of the oven, let it cool, and cut it into squares with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter — the pieces will turn out especially even.

You can serve brownies plain, dust them with powdered sugar, or arrange the squares on plates and garnish each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
