Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease bottom of a 13×9-inch baking pan with butter or shortening. Set aside.

In medium saucepan, stir 3/4 cup butter and baking chocolate over low heat until melted and smooth. Whisk in sugar. Then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

Chocolate scorches easily, so don’t be tempted to increase the heat in order to speed the melting process.
