To make the chocolate and walnut brownies, melt the dark chocolate with the water in a bain-marie or in the microwave.
In a bowl pour the melted chocolate and add the sugar and the oil. Begin to combine the ingredients.
Then add the eggs one at a time and the flour. Mix until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter.
Finally, fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts.
Line a rectangular baking pan (23 x 22 cm — about 9 x 8 2/3 inches) with parchment paper and pour the batter into it.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 10–15 minutes, then perform the toothpick test.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool. Then dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares. Enjoy!
