Brownies... Mmmmm

With this pregnancy I have been craving sweets like crazy since my morning sickness subsided back at about 12 weeks. So today I really wanted brownies, so I went online and found a kick butt recipe that I wanted to share. They are wonderful!

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup, 170 g ,butter, melted
1 1/2 cups, 300 g , white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons, 8 ml vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup, 100g , all-purpose flour
1/2 cup, 60 g , unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon, 3 g , salt
1/2 cup, 60 g , chocolate chips
1/2 cup, 60 g , pecans ( i did not add these)


DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Grease an 8 inch square pan or 9 x 13 pan.
In a large bowl, blend melted butter, sugar and vanilla.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Combine the flour, cocoa and salt. Add the chocolate chips and the pecans.Gradually blend into the egg mixture.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let brownies cool, then cut into squares.
They have the perfect chewy edges and super soft center. Very chocolatey rich and stay moist for days!
