| Ingredients: | |
| 4 ounces | unsweetened chocolate, (I like the Ghiradelli 100% Cacao unsweetened chocolate bars) |
| 3/4 cup (1 and 1/2 sticks) | unsalted butter |
| 1 3/4 cups | sugar, (that's 1 cup plus 3/4 cup more, just to clarify) |
| 3 | eggs |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla |
| 1 cup | flour |
| 1 cup | chopped pecans, (toasted with a little kosher salt adds an interesting, and even better, twist) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 13x9 pan with piece of foil long enough to extend over the ends of the pan, and grease the foil and the rest of the pan.
3. In a large microwaveable bowl, add the butter and the chocolate (break the chocolate into pieces).
4. Microwave for about a minute, removing and stirring to judge how much the chocolate has melted, then nuke in 15 second increments after that. It usually takes me about a minute and a half to completely melt the chocolate.
5. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
6. Stir in the flour, and if using, the pecans. Mix well.
7. Spread the batter into the pan.
8. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out crumby.
9. Let cool, then remove the brownies from the pan with the foil "handles."
10. Cut into squares, and enjoy!
11. Store in an air-tight container at room temp.
