Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) standard or 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square or round baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar and eggs together until creamy for about 30 seconds.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and dark chocolate. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
Add the melted chocolate and butter to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Incorporate flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until a thick, smooth brownie batter forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until shiny on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
Allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Store at room temperature or refrigerate. They freeze well too.

Notes

For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
Letting the brownies cool completely ensures cleaner cuts and better texture.
