Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and glossy.

  3. Step 3

    Pour batter into skillet and scatter pecans over the top, pressing lightly to anchor them.
