How to Make Aunt Eileen's Sauce Pan Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or nuts, or both!).
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
