HONEY BROWNIES

1/2 cup butter

4-oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2/3 cups honey
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
Dash of salt 

1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
Powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Melt butter and chocolate; stir in honey, egg, and vanilla; beat until well mixed. Combine flour, cinnamon, soda, and salt; mix well. Add to honey mixture; stir in nuts, if using. Pour into a 9-inch square baking pan that has been sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. It is important not to overbake! To serve, cut into squares when cooled. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
