Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 mini muffin tins with mini foil liners.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
