Yield: 24 brownies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light-brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Place butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe container. Heat 30 seconds. Stir, and repeat until melted.
- Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add vanilla and sugars. Mix well. Beat in chocolate mixture until smooth.
- Dump flour, baking powder and salt on top. Mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 25-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- For topping: Stir butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add remaining ingredients. Spoon over brownies as soon as they come out of the oven. Turn oven to broil.
