Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Queen Dana's Note:

I got this recipe from cookbook that I rented from the library over 3 years ago... I really wish I had written down that cookbook's title because it had some awesome recipes, in fact I have some more recipe to save on the zaar from that exact same book. Hope you enjoy.

I really enjoyed these brownies! They were super moist and chocolate-y! I still have some leftover, but it tasted better when coming straight out of the oven and still on the warm side.

I needed a recipe that used bittersweet chocolate and this one caught my eye since it looked so simple...and it was! I used Ghirardelli extra bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 tsp salt (recipe didn't say) and my family LOVED 'EM!!! They were sooo gooey and chocolaty....mmmmm! Thanks so much dear.
