Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl, then immediately whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
3. Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until the batter is smooth.
4. Stir in the flour and salt until combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
5. Transfer the batter to the centre rack of the oven and bake for 23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean or with a few moist, fudgy crumbs.
6. While the brownies cool, make the frosting: in a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped chocolate, butter and milk, stirring until smooth. The mixture may look separated at first; it will come together in the next step.
7. Off the heat, whisk in the salt and vanilla. Let cool for 3–5 minutes, then whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth and glossy.
8. Let the frosting cool slightly, whisking occasionally, until it loses its shine and is thick enough to spread without dripping off the spoon.
9. Spread the frosting over the brownies (they can still be a little warm), let the fudge set completely, then slice.
