1 cup chopped or broken-up walnuts or pecans

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pinch of salt

 

Method:

1:

Heat oven to 325 degrees

2:

Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla.

3:

In separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.

4:
