Picnic Season

Picnic season is my favorite. I love to eat outside, it is amazing how everything tastes better.
This is a recipe that I found torn from a magazine in my Mother's collection. They are the perfect take along dessert for a pic-a-nic (ala Yogi) basket. Rich and moist enough that you don't miss the frosting. Just what a brownie is supposed to be.
Enjoy.

1960s Saucepan Brownies

1/3 cup butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans


Place butter and chocolate in a saucepan and melt together over a low heat, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in, in this order: sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt and pecans.
Pour batter into a greased 8 inch x 8 inch x 2 inch baking pan and bake in a moderately hot oven, 375 *, 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
