Pecan Brownies

I pinned this recipe before Christmas and wanted to make it then but was so busy with Christmas baking I never did. This morning I was craving chocolate and was happy I had all the ingredients on hand and baked this brownie. This brownie is so moist and has a very rich chocolate flavor and thankfully satisfied my craving. I added pecans to the recipe and you can add any nut you like or fruit, caramel, coconut flakes, frosting, etc. This makes a small batch for one 8 inch pan. Double the recipe if you need to feed more people. Recipe is posted below.

1/4 teaspoon Coarse Salt

1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
