- 2 ounces (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
- 2 eggs, well beaten (in stirring bowl)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

At this point, sprinkle the top layer with Reese's Pieces if you'd like!
Put pan in oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Dip a toothpick into the center of the pan. If the toothpick is clean, the brownies are done. If batter sticks to the toothpick, give the brownies a few more minutes. Remove from the oven and let the brownies rest cool. After they are cooled, cut into squares and…
Enjoy!
