Ingredients

• 3 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups pecans, chopped

• 1 oven 350°f.
• 2 melt chocoalte and butter in a double boiler (or microwave) and combine till smooth.
• 3 add sugar, flour, vanilla and eggs - combine.
• 4 add nuts and stir.
• 5 using mini-muffin tins (or just mini-muffin cups on cookie sheets) fill about halfway full (i used a mellon baller for this) and bake 14-15 minutes.
• 6 while deadlies are cooking - prepare frosting.
• 7 melt additional 4 tbsp butter and chocolate.
• 8 stir in powdered sugar (use a whisk).
• 9 add enough coffee to make a smooth mixture (i always use all the coffee - the frosting will be very thick, but it's okay).
