Dark Chocolate Indulgent Brownies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.

2. 2

   Heat 6 oz of chocolate, butter, sugar, and water over low heat until melted and combined. Stir constantly. I do this with a small glass bowl placed over a small sauce pan which contains water to steam the bowl from underneath. Some like to do this step in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds if you choose the microwave method and watch carefully toward the end so the chocolate doesn't burn.

3. 3

   Pour this mixture into a larger bowl and cool slightly. You don't want scrambled eggs in your brownies!

4. 4

   When chocolate mixture has cooled enough add in the eggs one at a time mixing thoroughly.

5. 5

   Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt. Mix well.

6. 6

   Add remaining 4 oz of chocolate and nuts if desired.

7. 7

   Pour batter into prepared baking pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool before cutting.
