Melt the Chocolate
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler or on low power in the microwave. Stir until smooth, then add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

Add Eggs and Flour
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the flour and half of the pecans.

When the batter is smooth, pour it into the pan, sprinkle with the remaining pecans, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.

Cool and Cut
Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Lift the parchment paper to transfer the brownies to a board. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for three to four days.
