Fudgy Dark Chocolate Brownies

• servings: 24 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter

8 oz. bittersweet chocolate

2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

5 large eggs

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2/3 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan and set aside.

In a 3-quart saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool (I put the pan in the freezer for a few minutes to speed things up).

Once chocolate mixture is cool, whisk in the sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined and smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Combine flour mixture with chocolate mixture and whisk thoroughly.

Spread brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes (this varies greatly and may take as long as 45 minutes). Allow to cool completely before cutting.
