2 c. sugar
4 eggs
3/4 c. cocoa
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 sticks butter (1 c.)
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. salt
Shortening
8 or 9 inch sq. baking pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Smear 8 or 9 inch pan with shortening. Melt butter over low heat. Watch it. It's easy to burn.

In bowl, stir cocoa and sugar together. Then stir in melted butter. Add eggs and vanilla and stir again. Now add the flour and salt and mix until just smooth. Add walnuts. Scrape the mixture out into the greased pan and spread out in an even layer. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes. The hardest part. Let cool for a while before cutting. Enjoy!
