Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 oz Unsweetened chocolate -- 3 sq
4 tb Butter -- softened
1/2 ts Vanilla
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Brown sugar -- packed
1/3 c Light corn syrup
3 Eggs, large
1 c Flour, all purpose
1/8 ts -Salt
1 1/2 c Pecan halves -- or large pieces

Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter an 8 inch square
cake pan. Line the pan with wax paper. Butter the
paper; flour the pan. Melt the chocolate in the top of
a double boiler over hot water until smooth. Remove
from heat.
Beat the butter in a large bowl until light. Beat in
the vanilla, both sugars and the corn syrup. Add the
eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each
addition. Slowly beat in the melted chocolate, the
flour, the salt and 1 cup pecans.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the
remaining 1/2 cup pecans over the top. Bake until a
toothpick inserted in the centre comes out fairly
clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan on a wire rack 30
minutes.
Cover the pan with another rack and invert. Remove
the pan and peel off the paper. Invert back onto a
wire rack and let stand until completely cool.
Chill the brownie cake for about 30 minutes before
cutting into bars. MAKES ABOUT 24 BROWNIES
