They are chocolatey, fudgy, and so addicting.

2. Add the eggs, mix until fully incorporated

6. Pour batter into greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan
7. Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top evenly
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking middle with a knife or toothpick.

I cut mine into 16 1"x1" squared and have been storing them in the refrigerator. When I need a sweet treat, I microwave a square or two for 15-20 seconds.
Note: I used a gluten free flour blend, but I'm sure any flour would work well. The texture may change though.
