Christmas Candycane's Brownies

In large bowl, melt butter and chocolate in microwave for 5 minutes, or in pan on stove over low heat (if in pan, stir constantly).

Stir until completely melted.

Add sugar and mix til sugar is absorbed by chocolate.

Add eggs and vanilla and stir, then add flour and stir til lumps are gone, don't stir more than that.

Mix in nuts.

Pour thin layer of batter into greased 8x12 inch pan (just enough to cover the bottom).

Melt carmel in microwave for 30 seconds, or in pan until soft.

The carmel will still be in squares, but it will be warm and soft.

With fingers, flatten squares into larger squares and put on top of brownie layer.

Add the rest of the batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes.

Transfer brownie with pan on a wire rack to cool completely.

Cut into squares and top with several pieces of crushed candy canes.
