Notes  

You don't have to put nuts in, but personally, I don't like nuts in my brownies. Also, you can melt your butter and chocolate in the microwave separately, then mix them together I found that a lot easier. Another thing, don't be alarmed if your brownies sink, because that's  normal for brownies.
