Pecan brownies are flavored with butter, unsweetened chocolate and vanilla, along with lots of pecans to create a great dessert for a small gathering or cookie exchange.
Prepare an eight-by-eight-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter, shortening or cooking spray. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring constantly. Once they are completely melted, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl, and add the eggs, vanilla and flour to the pot, stirring to combine everything well.
Finally, fold in the pecans (save a few to sprinkle on the top of the batter).
Spread the mixture into your prepared baking pan and sprinkle the top with a few pecan pieces.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the brownies cool before slicing them and storing them in an air-tight container.
