1. 1

   Prepare the pan

   Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   Melt butter and chocolate

   In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate until smooth. Stir occasionally until glossy.

3. 3

   Sweeten and combine

   Remove from heat; whisk in granulated sugar until fully incorporated and glossy.

4. 4

   Add eggs and vanilla

   Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in eggs one by one until fully blended. Stir in vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Combine dry ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chipotle powder.

6. 6

   Fold dry into wet and add heat

   Stir the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture just until combined. Mix in adobo sauce until evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Add nuts (optional)

   If using walnuts, fold them in now and distribute evenly.

8. 8

   Bake and cool

   Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares.
