In a small bowl combine raisins, nuts and rum. Let stand 30 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F and butter an 8-inch square pan; set aside. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside. Mix brown sugar into cooled chocolate mixture.
