List of Ingredients



• 1 cup pecans or hazelnuts
  
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  
• 1 cup brown sugar
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 4 eggs
  
• 2 Tbsp brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 3/4 cup flour
  
• 1/4 cup cocoa
  
• 1 cup chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch pan. Toast the nuts for 6 minutes, then cool and chop.
   
   
2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over very low heat and set aside to cool. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugars and eggs together until light. Stir in the melted chocolate and coffee. In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, flour and cocoa. Fold the flour mixture gently into the chocolate and egg mixture, then fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
   
   
3. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool for about an hour before cutting.
