batter 2 minutes. Mix in hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Add dry
ingredients

about 45 minutes. Cool.laze: Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over
barely simmering water,

until
smooth. Pour glaze over brownies and spread evenly. Let stand until glaze
sets. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room
temperature.) Release pan sides. Cut brownies into wedges and serve.
