Dark and chewy brownies.
3/4 cup of butter or margarine
4 (1 ounce) squares of unsweetened chocolate
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups of unsifted flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1 1/2 tsps of vanilla
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Melt the butter and chocolate in a large, heavy saucepan over the lowest heat.
Remove from heat and mix in the remaining ingredients in the order listed, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x9x2 inch pan and bake for 40 minutes until brownies just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Cool the pan of brownies upright on a wire rack until they are room temperature then cut in 16 squares.
They are about 350 calories per brownie.
*These are nothing like Alice’s Restaurant brownies.. you won’t need to go to drug rehab after eating them!
