Ingredients

o   1 cup butter (2 sticks)

o   9 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped

o   3 eggs

o   1 cup sugar

o   1 tsp salt

o   1 tbsp vanilla

o   1 ½ cups flour

o   1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)

o   Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

1.     Preheat the oven to 350º and grease a brownie dish with butter.

2.    Melt the butter in a small pot over medium low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat, stir in the chopped chocolate, cover, let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk until smooth. If the chocolate won’t melt into the butter, you can zap it for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave or turn the stove back on, just be sure not to cook/burn it.

3.     In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla.

4.    Add the melted chocolate into the egg bowl and whisk to combine.

5.     Gently stir in the flour (and walnuts if using) until just combined with the chocolate mixture. Pour the brownie mix into the prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes or until desired doneness.

5.     Remove from the oven and top with the flaky sea salt if using. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
