Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

4 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9"x 13"baking pan. Line the pan with buttered parchment or foil. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off heat. Set a heatproof bowl over water, and put butter and chocolate in bowl. Melt, stirring occasionally. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs. Add salt, sugars, and vanilla. Stir in chocolate and butter mixture. Fold in flour and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top will form a shiny crust and the batter will be moderately firm. Cool on a rack. Cut brownies into squares and enjoy!
