Chocolate Brownies:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven.
Butter, or spray with a non stick vegetable spray, an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan.
Melt the chocolate and
butter in a large stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water.
Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Next, whisk in the vanilla extract and
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Finally, stir in the flour

the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in

Ganache:
Melt the chopped chocolate, cream, and butter in a stainless
steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water.
Remove from heat and let
cool to room temperature and then spread the ganache over the
brownies.
I like to store these brownies in the refrigerator.
They can
also be frozen.
Makes 16 brownies.
