Happy Valentine's

Quintessential Brownies
Halving this recipe will still yield a sizable batch

6 oz (1 c) bittersweet chocolate
2 oz (1/3 c) unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 stick butter
1 1/2 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 c flour
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
confectioner's sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 13x9 pan, or 9x9 pan if halving the recipe.

Melt the butter and chocolate (but not the chips!). In a large bowl combine the sugar, vanilla, and eggs. With a wooden spoon, stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined.

Pour into the pan, evening out with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

Dust with confectioner's sugar.
