Ok, so these bad boys were made on an evening when all I really wanted was for my house to smell good for the company that was on the way. My house always smells good (I'm not an animal!!) but I was looking to set a mood of domesticity especially since I was expecting a group of women! 

I'm not kidding when I tell you that these brownies were the best I have ever tasted - and I've tasted many brownies in my lifetime! The coarse Sea Salt makes all the difference if you're like me and a fanatic for a good salty-sweet combo! 

Here's what to do: 

Ingredients: 
1 Stick Salted Butter
6 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate 
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
3 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Packed Light-Brown Sugar 
1/2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt 
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3/4 Cup Unbleached White Spelt Flour 

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees 
• Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment letting it overhang a little on two sides and then butter parchment or spray with cooking spray. 
• Put butter and bittersweet chocolate in a fairly large, heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (I used two similarly sized sauce pans, one on top of the other - pictured below). 
• Melt and stir until smooth. 
• Remove from heat and whisk in sugars. 
• Whisk in eggs one at a time until combined. 
• Whisk in Cocoa and salt, then fold in flour until combined. 

Pour batter into your lined pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs - was about 35 minutes for me. 
Let cool completely in the pan, preferably sitting on a wire rack away from heat. 

Lift out parchment with using the overhanging parchment. 

Cut into 16 squares (or however many you want!) 

Then take a minutes to prepare yourself for some gooey, chocolate-y deliciousness! 

Enjoy!
