1 1/2 c flour
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat to 350. Grease a 13 x 9 pan.
Heat chocolate and butter in a 3 quart saucepan over low heat, stir frequently, until melted. Remove from heat. Add remaining brownie ingredients. Spread batter in pan.

Coconut-Pecan Frosting

1/4 c butter or margarine (I used unsalted butter)
1/3 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 c shredded sweetened coconut
2/3 c chopped pecans
Combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla and egg yolks in 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 12 minutes, stir constantly, until thick and golden brown. Remove from heat, then add pecans and coconut. Beat until it's of spreading consistency. Spread on cooled brownies.
