Ganache

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until it comes to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the chocolate. Microwave the mixture for 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Be sure not to overheat.

  • Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies, and then sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Place the brownies in the fridge for a few hours. Once the ganache is set, cut the brownies and serve.

Notes

Make sure to line the baking pan with parchment paper, this will distribute the heat more evenly during baking, and help them to come out of the pan after baking.
