I have shared these brownies once before, but they are spectacular enough to warrant a second post. First, they are rich and fudgy; second, they are made in just one bowl; and finally, they are outrageously delicious. My oldest, Tom, was off for a weekend bachelor party...and I had a feeling a bunch of twenty-some year old guys would have the beverages planned, but not the food. I offered to send a tray of goodies which included lemon bars, chocolate caramel streusel bars and these brownies...of course, he was delighted with this idea. And I was told quite a few of these goodies disappeared on the drive down to their destination.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownies...adapted from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook
1 stick butter, plus more for pan
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 1/2 c sugar
4 large eggs
1 t vanilla
3/4 c flour
1/4 t salt
Preheat oven to 350º. Butter an 8" square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang on two sides. Set aside.
Place butter and chocolate in microwave safe bowl and microwave gently until butter and chocolate are melted (30 seconds x 3, stirring in between sessions). Let cool to room temperature.
Stir sugar into chocolate till combined. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Fold in flour and salt. Bake until cake tester comes out of center with just a few moist crumbs, 40-45 min. Cool completely on rack. Run knife around perimeter of pan and lift brownies out of pan using parchment. Cut into 2 inch squares. May dip bottoms in granulated sugar to stack.
Note: For easier slicing, place pan in freezer for one hour before cutting.
