1 cup butter
5 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees f. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with pan spray. Melt chocolate and butter on stove. With a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes. Blend chocolate mixture, flour, and salt until just mixed. Stir in the nuts. Pour your mixture into a sprayed pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. If desired, place chopped nuts on top.
