Pistachio Chocolate Swirl Brownies

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
• 1 c Butter; softened
• 2 c Sugar
• 1 1/2 ts Vanilla
• 4 Eggs
• 1 3/4 c Flour
• 1/2 ts Salt
• 1/2 ts Almond extract
• 1 c Pistachios; chopped
• Green food coloring

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13" pan. Melt chocolate;
set aside to cool. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and vanilla
until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in flour and
salt. Divide batter in half. To one half, add almond extract, chopped
pistachios, and enough green food color to tint batter a light green (2-
4 drops). To other half of batter, stir in melted chocolate and chocolate
chips; mix well. Spoon batter alternately into pan, checkerboard
fashion. Swirl batters to get a marbled effect. Bake for 45 minutes or
until tested done. Cool completely; cut into bars.
