This easy recipe for a no-egg chocolate dessert seems like an early variation of the seven-layer bar cookie recipe — which would also usually include coconut and butterscotch chips.

1 (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts

Pour into square (8 x 8 x 2 inch) baking pan, which has been greased, lined with wax paper, and greased again. Bake at 350 degrees F about 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven.

  1. I first started making Gold Rush Brownies in 1962 when my husband was serving in Vietnam. What was so very special about the brownies is how well they traveled and lasted. They were still very good after a week or two in transit. Just love these.
