喵喵知道我囝囡好中意食brownies，我也時常整不同配料的布朗尼給他們吃，因此，上次回港喵喵送給我一包碧加果, 叫我用來整布朗尼，真是有心。

之後還常問我有沒有用到，真不好意思，太忙了，新年太多其他野要做，直到小詠說想整brownies問食鐠，我才o的起心肝整。。。

Cheesy Mui Mui gave me a packet of pecan halves and specifically told me to use it to make brownies. I have been back home for over a month, and Mui has asked me a number of times whether I have used it, heeee.... you know what they say about lazy people has thousands of excuses NOT to do something. Oh well, I won't start listing...

Last week, Wing Wing was asking for recipe for making brownies and I sent her this NO FAIL ultimate brownie recipe that my sister Alice gave me. Why no fail? because it sure works, haaaaa.... THAT reminds me that I am supposed to make one too using the pecans. Here I made two flavors: round one is chocolate chips, and the square one is crushed almond; BOTH with pecans on top.....

Thanks Cat for the lovely pecans, sure make my brownies look so much nicer!

Ultimate Chocolate Brownie
Melt:
4 oz - unsweetened chocolate, chopped
½ cup (125 g) - unsalted butter, cubed
2 Tbsp - cocoa powder
1 Tbs - instant coffee granules

Stir in:
1½ cups - sugar
1 tsp - vanilla extract
¼ tsp - salt
3 eggs

Fold in:
1 cup - flour
¾ cup - walnuts, toasted, chopped optional

Preheated oven to 350o and coat an 8” square baking pan with nonstick spray.
Melt chocolate, butter, cocoa powder and coffee in a bowl in a microwave on full power, stirring every 30 seconds (or in a heavy saucepan over low heat). Remove when chocolate is nearly melted and stir until totally smooth.
Stir in sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
Fold in flour and nuts. Spread batter in prepared pan and bake 30-40 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before cutting.
