Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly coat a 13x9x2-
inch (33 x 23 x 5 cm) square pans with cooking spray or
melted butter. Place butter and both chocolates in a
medium saucepan and melt over low heat. Remove
from heat; cool to lukewarm – about 15 to 20 minutes.
Place flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and
stir; reserve.
Place the sugars and eggs in the Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl.
Insert the flat mixing paddle. Turn to speed 1 and mix
for 30 seconds, then increase to speed 4 for 1½ to
2 minutes until very thick and pale caramel in color.
Reduce to speed 1 and add the melted chocolate/
butter mixture and vanilla while mixing. Mix until
completely blended, about 1 minute; stop and scrape
bowl. Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the choco-
late mixture. Press Fold to blend in the flour, about 10 to
15 times. Add the chocolate morsels and nuts to the
bowl and press Fold until just blended in. Pour into
prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated
350°F (180°C) oven until a cake tester inserted into the
centre comes out with a few moist crumbs attached and
top cracks in places, about 30 minutes – do not over-
bake. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. (May be
made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and let stand at room
temperature.)
Cut brownies into squares to serve.
