-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnut pieces
1/2 cup bleached all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate -- finely
chopped 3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack at the middle level. Butter
an 8-inch square pan, and line the bottom with a square of parchment
or waxed paper.

Combine the walnuts and flour and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk
the eggs with salt and rum.

In a saucepan, stir the sugar and corn syrup well to mix. Place over
low heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the
chocolate and butter. Allow to stand for 3 or 4 minutes, then whisk
smooth. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Stir in the
walnuts and flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes,
until set and firm.

Cool in the pan on a rack. Unmold and cut into 2-inch squares.

Yield: sixteen 2-inch squares
