French brownies are a luxurious twist on the traditional American dessert. Combining the richness of classic French cuisine with the indulgence of chocolate, these brownies are a sophisticated twist on a beloved classic. The addition of Frangelico (a hazelnut liqueur) gives these brownies a grown-up flavor that is sure to impress. Perfect for sharing with friends and family over a cup of coffee or tea, these brownies are a decadent treat to be savored.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and sprinkle granulated sugar over it.
2.In a small saucepan, combine the Frangelico and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cook over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
3.In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until fully melted.
4.Add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
5.Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6.Fold in the walnuts and the Frangelico mixture until just combined.
7.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle fleur de sel over the top if desired.
8.Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it.
9.Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
