Directions:
Coarsely chop the chocolate or use 8 oz chocolate morsels.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a 13x9 inch pan with margarine or butter.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine or butter; remove it from the heat to cool enough so that the eggs don't cook yet still warm so that the sugar will blend easily; add the sugar, vanilla and eggs; blend well.
Lightly spoon the flour into a measuring cup; level off the cup using an upside down knife.
In a mixing bowl, stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt; mix well. Add the chocolate, pecans, and the saucepan ingredients; blend until just fully blended, then stop.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until set.
