A rich, nutty, chocolate sensation in every bite!

1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a large mixer bowl, beat the brown sugar, butter and vanilla until creamy. Add the egg and beat well.

Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1-1/3 cups chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts.

Spread into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the top; let stand until chips become shiny and soft. Spread chocolate evenly over the top.

Cool completely, then chill 5 to 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Cut into bars. Makes 24 bars.
