- Add the butter and whisk constantly until melted, then add the dark chocolate and whisk constantly until melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
- Add the flour mixture and stir slowly until fully combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- bake the batter for 30-35 minutes or until set on top, the brownies have slightly pulled away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the brownies completely, then cut them into 16 pieces.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
