Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the lining and any exposed parts of the inside of the pan. Alternatively, leave the pan unlined and grease the pan.
- Place the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at half-power in 30-second increments until the butter melts and the chocolate melts when stirred. Stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk the cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture. Add the sugar and brown sugar, and mix until combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the flour, ground pecans, and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and spread evenly. Sprinkle the pecan halves and pieces on top of the batter, pressing down lightly. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then use the parchment lining to transfer the brownies to a cutting board and cut into squares.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
