Mississippi Mud Fudge

Pat yourself on the back for visiting this post, because I HAVE to tell you, this is the BEST piece of food I have ever, EVER made. Hands down, this is my FAVORITE. I am so exciting to share it with you because OMG...Just, WOW. My husband always tells me that I'm too hard on myself when it comes to the foods I made and critiquing them...but this...just, WOW. Try it, it is SO WORTH IT. Please let me know if you liked it as much as me...because...I don't know what to say other than WOW!

You will need (fudge):
1 cup chopped pecans (more if you're a pecan lover like myself)

2 cups sugar
1.5 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp salt

3. Mix sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, vanilla and salt and chocolate mixture together until smooth
4. Pour into greased 15x10x1 pan

9. Come back and tell me if you went cross eyed when you tasted it (like i did!)
