Even though I’m ‘dieting’, I can’t give up chocolate. Well, I could, if I had to. But that’s not a position I plan to put myself in Chocolate, in moderation, is known to help reduce anxiety and stress,  and with how stressed I’m going to be these next three months, I’m going to need a constant dose of the sweet stuff. Along with having a desperate sweet tooth, I also am on the lookout for dessert recipes for the sweets table at our wedding. I’m going to be doing some of the baking so I will be busy taste testing recipes that are delicious, elegant, southern, bite-sized and visually appealing. Lucky for you, I will feature them all on here! This recipe only makes about 24, so if you are cooking for a large party you will want to double it. I ran out of chocolate, otherwise I would have dipped them for an extra fudgey bite. A dash of powdered sugar is just as nice, though!

• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/3  cup  unsalted butter
• 2  large eggs
• 1/2  cup  sugar
• 1/2  cup  all-purpose flour
• 1/2  teaspoon  baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
• 1  cup  chopped walnuts

How to Make Them:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 by 8 baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix butter and chocolate into a medium saucepan. Heat until mixture is melted.

• While chocolate is melting, beat eggs with sugar in a large bowl until creamy.

• Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Once that is mixed, stir in melted chocolate mixture.

• Pour mix into the greased pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
