these brownies are delicious yet very rich, so beware the temptation to cut huge squares of these! a small square goes a very long way! and these can only be made more delicious by adding either a ganache or mascarpone frosting! today, i’ve frosted these with a simple ganache frosting and sprinkled them with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips! absolutely delicious!

yum yum yummy brownies
ingredients:
8 tablespoons unsweetened butter, softened to room temperature
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup baker’s sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
pinch of salt

instructions:
1. preheat oven to 350 degrees. grease 9 x 9 baking pan and set aside.
2. create a double boiler in a saucepan over low heat. combine butter and chocolate, stirring constantly until melted.
3. add the sugar and eggs, stirring until well-combined.
4. stir in vanilla extract.
5. stir in flour.
6. when all ingredients are well-combined, pour into prepared baking pan.
7. bake brownies for 18-20 minutes until brownies are set. be careful not to overbake these — a toothpick inserted into the center of these brownies will come out clean at about 18 minutes.
8. remove from oven and completely cool before frosting or cutting into small squares.
enjoy!
