  • Preheat the Oven
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Brownie Batter
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Add the melted butter and wine, stirring until incorporated.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.
  • Bake the Brownies
    • Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and pour the brownie batter into it, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan.
  • Make the Icing
    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to low.
    • Add the chopped chocolate, powdered sugar, and wine to the melted butter. Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to let it boil.
  • Frost the Brownies
    • While the brownies are still warm, spoon the hot icing over the top, spreading it evenly.
    • Allow the brownies to set at room temperature for at least 1 hour, but for best results, let them sit for 12 hours before slicing.
  • Serve and Enjoy
    • Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious brownies with chocolate icing!
