Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, chopped into pieces
- 8 ounces of Bucare 58.5% Dark Chocolate Discs
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder or ground cinnamon, optional
- 2 cups pecans, toasted and chopped, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 13″x9″ baking pan then line with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter and chocolate in 30 second increments until melted, stirring in between bursts.

- In another large bowl, whisk together sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in melted chocolate.
