    3       oz           Unsweetened chocolate -- 3 sq
    4       tb           Butter -- softened
      1/2   ts           Vanilla
    1       c            Sugar
      1/2   c            Brown sugar -- packed
      1/3   c            Light corn syrup
    3                    Eggs, large
    1       c            Flour, all purpose
      1/8   ts           -Salt
    1 1/2   c            Pecan halves -- or large pieces
 
     Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter an 8 inch square
   cake pan. Line the pan with wax paper. Butter the
   paper; flour the pan. Melt the chocolate in the top of
   a double boiler over hot water until smooth. Remove
   from heat.
     Beat the butter in a large bowl until light. Beat in
   the vanilla, both sugars and the corn syrup. Add the
   eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each
   addition. Slowly beat in the melted chocolate, the
   flour, the salt and 1 cup pecans.
     Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the
   remaining 1/2 cup pecans over the top. Bake until a
   toothpick inserted in the centre comes out fairly
   clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan on a wire rack 30
   minutes.
     Cover the pan with another rack and invert. Remove
   the pan and peel off the paper. Invert back onto a
   wire rack and let stand until completely cool.
     Chill the brownie cake for about 30 minutes before
   cutting into bars. MAKES ABOUT 24 BROWNIES
