Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 stick butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup broken-up walnuts or pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.

3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts, and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.

4. Pour into a greased 8x8 square pan. Bake 40 minutes. Do not overbake; they should be gooey. Let cool, and cut into bars.
