Chocolate and Nuts... Mmmmm Boy!

BAKER'S ONE BOWL Bittersweet Torte

Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 1 hr
Makes: 12 servings

1 pkg. (6 squares) BAKER'S Bittersweet (I used semi-sweet) Baking Chocolate, divided
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 9-inch round cake pan. Line bottom of pan with wax paper; set aside.

MICROWAVE 4 of the chocolate squares and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar; mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in pecans. Pour into prepared pan.

BAKE 40 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan 5 min. Run small knife around side of pan to loosen edge. Invert torte onto serving platter; remove wax paper. Melt remaining 2 chocolate squares. Drizzle over top of torte. Let stand until firm.

I decorated the top with pecan halves before drizzling the chocolate. It looked pretty and was so yummy straight out of the oven. I always reheated my leftovers in the microwave too as it seemed best served hot. Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or plain with a glass of cold milk. So Easy, yet So Delicious!!
