1. Adjust oven rack to middle and heat over to 325. Line 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, allowing excess to overhang edges. Spray foil with cooking spray.
2. Melt chocolate and butter together in microwave; cool slightly. Combing cocoa, flour, and salt in bowl. Whisk sugar and eggs in separtae bowl, then whisk in chocolate mixture. Stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in pecans or chocolate chips and scrape batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake until toothpick comes out with a few attached wet crumbs. Recipe say about 35 minutes, but mine took 45-50. Transfer to wire rack.
