Chocolate Pecan Brownies


 Makes10 small piece
- prep : Always remove eggs from the refrigerator  in case they are cold and allow them to come to room temperature.
-Pre heat the oven to 350 F

-Start Mixing in a bowl:
1/4 tbs baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa (I used Hershey's)
1/2 Cooking oil
1/2 Boiling Water
Let this become a nice thick paste and then add..
1 cup All purpose flour
1/4 tbs/ 2 drops of Vanilla Extract
1/2 tbs salt
Toss in the Pecans now...you can choose the nuts you want and make sure they are small




Grease the pan well and use a parchment sheet if you have one, I made mine without it but buttered the pan well and sprinkles some cocoa powder (since its a chocolate cake ;) ) 
Pour the batter and then bake it for ideally 30 minutes, do  the toothpick test , where you poke it in and if it comes out clean...your cake is ready!!! Cool it for a while before serving.

TRY THIS TIP:Spread into a lined and greased 9"x13" pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Whenever I cook brownies, I lower the heat to 325 as soon as I put the brownies in oven and cook for a few extra minutes. This helps to prevent hard, crunchy edges.
