...does anyone have that recipe? I am away from home and my cookbooks and haven't been able to find the recipe on line....it is mixed in a pan on top of the stove, not with a mixer.
It has no baking powder and is mixed in a pan on top of the stove before putting in 8x8 pan and baked.
 
I hope this is what you are looking for!

Ingredients:
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup broken nuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sift together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt), and set aside.

Melt chocolate and shortening in a double boiler (in a pan which is over another pan of boiling water). Remove pan from heat, and beat in the sugar and eggs. Stir in the dry ingredients, and then mix in the nuts.

Spread combined ingredients in a well-greased 8-inch square pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until top has dull crust. A slight imprint will be left when top is touched lightly with finger. Cool slightly, then cut into squares.
