--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           Butter or butter crisco at -- room temperature
   2      cups          Sugar
   1      cup           Light brown sugar -- firm pack
     2/3  cup           Dark corn syrup
   6      large         Eggs
   6      ounces        Unsweetened chocolate -=OR=-
   1 1/8  cups          Cocoa + 6 T oil
   2      cups          Flour -- fork stirred
   2      cups          Walnuts or pecans -- coarsely
                        broken or chopped
     1/2  teaspoon      Almond extract

Butter the bottom and sides of two 8x8" square pans.
 (Do not use one 9x13" pan, batter is so rich the center won't cook as well).

 In a large mixer bowl, stir togerher until blended: butter, both sugars, and syrup.
 Stir in eggs, one at time until blended. In a small saucepan, over very low heat, melt the chocolate, 
stir into sugar mixture until well blended. Add almond extract and flour and stir until well blended.
 Add the nuts (I add chocolate chips sometimes, too) and stir until evenly distributed.
 Turn into prepared pans, spread evenly. Bake at 350~ till toothpick comes out clean - about 40 minutes.
 Place on wire rack to cool.
 Refrigerate uncovered till cool and cut into bars.

 These freeze well and can be eaten right out of the freezer without defrosting.
