  4. Reduce to Speed 3 and add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape down the entire bowl as necessary.
  5. Reduce to Speed 1 and slowly add the dry ingredients. Once almost fully mixed, add the chopped chocolate, chocolate chips and nuts. Mix until combined and then pour into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake until top is just starting to crack, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan; then, using the parchment paper/foil overhang, lift blondies out of pan and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Cut and serve warm if desired. Store remaining blondies in an airtight
