Brownies:
Preheat oven to 350º. Melt chocolate and shortening in a saucepan. Remove from heat and let cool (or you will scramble the eggs). Mix sugar, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl and stir in chocolate mixture. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Fold in chopped nuts. Spread ingredients in a greased 8" x 8" x 2" pan. Bake 30-35 minutes, until brownies just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool.
