Instructions
Preheat oven to 300F.
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Mix the sugar and flour together in a bowl. Combine chocolate and flour mixture. Stir 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs and continue mixing.
Pour mixture into a 9 x 12 baking sheet. Sprinkle walnuts on top, pressing down slightly into the mixture. Bake 30 -40 minutes
The brownies are done when the edges begin to crisp and has risen 1/4 of an inch. They should still remain "gooey" when you insert a toothpick due to the richness of the mixture.
Glaze
Mix together all the ingredients in a sauce pan. Mix thoroughly and bring to a boil for two minutes. Bush the hot glaze on brownies while they are still warm.
