Instructions

1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl in the microwave (20-second bursts, stirring each time) or over low heat in a saucepan, then let cool for 5 minutes.
2. Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the base and sides of a 9-inch square pan with parchment.
3. Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the cooled chocolate mixture, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
4. Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder and salt until no dry pockets remain, then fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be semi-thick.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 32-35 minutes, until the top looks set and a toothpick in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet). Check at 30 minutes, since ovens vary.
6. Cool the pan on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours, then lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang.
7. Beat the softened butter on medium speed for about 2 minutes until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, cream or milk, vanilla and salt, beat on low for 30 seconds, then on high for 1 minute. Taste and add more salt if wanted.
8. Spread the frosting over the mostly cooled brownies (slightly warm is fine), then cut into squares with a long, sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
