This is so simple, and so completely homemade. I haven't tried any substitutions in this recipe, such as oil or applesauce for butter, or whole wheat flour. I mean, brownies are brownies, and probably shouldn't be fiddled with too much! This is based on a brownie recipe from an old Joy cookbook.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 4 - eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup pecan pieces

How To Make double rich brownies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan for chewy, moist brownies. For cake-like brownies, use a 9 x 9 inch pan.
  • Step 2
    Melt butter and chocolate together in microwave or over a double boiler. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Step 3
    Make the brownies by hand mixing, not a mixer. Do not overmix. Beat eggs and salt together until light and foamy in texture. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla.
  • Step 4
    Combine the cooled chocolate mixture with the egg mixture. Before totally mixed, fold in the flour. Before it is uniformly mixed, stir in the pecans.
  • Step 5
    Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake about 25 minutes. Do not cut until cool, as the inside will still be moist until it cools.
