Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt 6 oz chopped dark chocolate and 1/2 cup unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar, then whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time until fully combined. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 cup Davidson’s plum jam, mixing gently.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, sift together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped toasted macadamia nuts, reserving a few for topping. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle reserved nuts on top.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
