Pecan Brownies
5 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate; cut up
2 sticks (8 ounces) butter or margarine
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted flour
3/4 cup chopped pecans
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. In a 2-quart glass bowl, stir together the butter and unsweetened chocolate. Heat this in the microwave on high up to two and one-half minutes or until the chocolate has melted and it is smooth when it is stirred.
Add the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and eggs to the melted chocolate. Stir this with a fork until it is well mixed. Finally, stir in the flour and salt.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts over the top of the brownies. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes or until the mixture is set. Be sure not to over bake the brownies. Remove the baking pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool.
