Ingredients

  • Butter, for greasing the pan
  • Three (3)bars, Divine Dark Chocolate, 3.5 oz broken into pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups (9 ounces) melted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups, packed, (9 ounces) dark muscovado sugar or soft brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) chopped pecan nuts or walnuts

Steps

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C, 325°F
  2. Grease a 9 inch square baking pan with a little butter.
  3. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a small heavy saucepan over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon.
