INGREDIENTS
- 4 1-oz unsweetened chocolate baking squares
- ¾ cup butter
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil.
Microwave chocolate squares and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1½ to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Whisk in granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Whisk in flour, vanilla and salt.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake at 350°F for 40-44 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack (about an hour). Lift brownies from pan, using foil sides as handles. Gently remove foil, and cut brownies into 16 squares.
