Preheat the oven to 150C/140CFan/300F and line a 20cmx30cm (8x12") baking tin with baking parchment.
Break up the chocolate and place in a large bowl along with the butter. Place the bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and stir the melted chocolate and butter together until well combined and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl mix together the flour, cocoa powder and muscovado sugar. Stir through and break down any lumps in the sugar.
Pour the flour and sugar mixture into the melted chocolate and stir to form a smooth brownie batter.
Now add the beaten eggs to the brownie mixture and stir until well combined.
Finally add the chopped pecan nuts stir through the batter.
Pour the brownie mixture into the lined baking tin and place into the oven to cook for 1 hour.
Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and set it onto a wire cooling rack to cool.
Once the brownies have cooled completely, cut into slices and remove from the pan.
Store in an air-tight container, placing a piece of baking parchment between each layer of brownie to stop them sticking together.

Line the baking tray with baking parchment as this makes removing the chocolate brownies from the tin a whole lot easier.

Prepare and weigh all ingredients before you start, as this is a quick recipe to make once you get going.

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting up into squares for storage.

When layering brownies into the storage container, I like to place a sheet of baking parchment between each layer of biscuit to stop the brownies from sticking to each other.
These brownies freeze really well.
Pecan nuts have been used in this recipe, feel free to substitute with any other nuts: walnut, hazelnut, etc. Alternatively you can leave the nuts out entirely.
This recipe is easily made gluten free by substituting the self-raising flour for gluten free self raising flour, I recommend Doves GF Flour. Take care to ensure the chocolate is also suitable for a gluten free diet.
