Brownies

To call this just a "browine" doesn't do it justice. These are without a doubt one of the best chocolate confections you will ever eat. I got this recipe from my mother and I think she got it from heaven. D-e-l-i-g-h-t-f-u-l!

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups bread flour (not self-rising)
2/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
2 cup pecans, chopped

How to Make It:
1) Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2) Put butter in 9x13 dish, melt in oven.
3) Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa.
4) Add melted butter, vanilla, and eggs.
5) Mix well.
6) Stir in pecans. Batter will be thick.
7) Pour batter into pan. Spread evenly.
8) Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 1" from edge comes out
clean. (Take care not to overbake.)
9) Cool completely and frost.

Frosting:
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2-4 Tbsp. milk, for desired consistency

(The frosting has been halved from the original recipe, but it makes plenty.)
