Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 mini muffin tins with mini foil liners.
Place sugar, butter, and semisweet chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt. Remove from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
Stir eggs 1 at a time into the chocolate mixture; add pecans and vanilla extract. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the prepared mini muffin tins.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
