best-ever brownies

i decided to try this delicious looking recipe from my chatelaine magazine
it's baking in the oven, and it smells sooo tasty.

1 cup hazelnuts (i used walnuts because i didn't have hazelnuts)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (6 squares)
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mixed chocolate chips

preheat oven to 325.
coat or spray a 2 litre baking dish with oil. in a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with cocoa and salt. using a serrated knife, coarsely chop chocolate. place in a medium sized bowl along with butter.
microwave chocolate and butter on medium until almost melted, about 3 minutes. using a rubber spatula to stir chocolate halfway through microwaving. then stir until smooth. set aside to cool.
in a large bowl, whisk eggs, then sugar and vanilla. using a spatula, scrape in cooled chocolate mixture, then stir until evenly mixed. gradually stir in flour mixture, just until almost mixed (overmixing toughens brownies) stir in nuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. spread batter in baking dish. smooth top.
bake until edges are firm and middle is set, 35-45 minutes. don't overbake (a toothpick inserted in the centre may have chocolately crumbs clinging to it) remove pan to a rack and cool. cut into squares.
