1/3 c. shortening
2 (1 oz.) squares chocolate
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Melt shortening and chocolate together over very low heat in saucepan, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Blend in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Sift together flour and salt. Blend into chocolate mixture along with nuts. Beat well. Pour into well greased and floured 8"x8" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until sure of doneness on inside but do not over bake. Cut into squares while still warm. This recipe may easily be doubled for a 10"x13" pan.
