Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup salted butter (You can use unsalted. I just like the salty flavor.)
- 8 ounces chocolate bars of your choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar (optional)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8″ square pan with cooking spray and set aside.
-
Break chocolate bars into smaller pieces, and place in a large, microwave-safe bowl with the butter. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. Heat another 30 seconds, and stir until all chocolate is melted. (This will take about a minute of stirring.)
-
Stir in vanilla, and sugar if you would like sweeter brownies. Add one egg and quickly stir it in vigorously to make sure it doesn’t get too hot and start to cook. Next, stir in remaining two eggs.
-
Stir in flour until completely smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting and serving.
Notes
If you leave out the sugar, your brownies will be more dense and less sweet. I prefer to cut sugar where I can, but you might want to add it for a more traditional texture.
