Step 1
Place butter in a a steel or a heatproof glass bowl on top of a sauce pan of boiling water .

Stir occasionally until the butter melts completely.
Step 3
Add Chocolate chips and melt them and keep stirring the mixture.
Step 4
Now add sugar and stir the mixture continuously.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to cool down but let it not begin to set.
Step 6
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and also grease the tray.
Step 7
Preheat the over at 170 deg C for 10 minutes until you prepare the batter.
Step 8
Once the butter, chocolate and sugar mixture has cooled down, add in the eggs one by one whisking them with a whisk or an electric blender. Blend smooth after each addition.
Step 9
Add Vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 10
Sift and add the cocoa powder and flour into the mixture and whisk well .
Step 11

Step 12
Bake at 170 deg C for 35-40 minutes ( the time could vary depending on the oven settings).
Step 13
Keep a check after 35 mins. If you feel its still very moist,then allow it to bake for another 5 minutes. Test by inserting a skewer in the brownie. Please do not over bake.
Step 14
Take out the tray from the oven and allow it to cool. ( its perfectly normal to have cracks on the brownie )
Step 15
Once they are perfectly cooled cut them into squares and dust some icing sugar / powdered sugar ( use a sieve) and Chocolate Brownies are ready to eat!!
Step 16
Chocolate Sauce ( optional) : If you want them even more chocolatey , melt 1/4 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave ( just until they melt) and add some fresh cream and mix well. Coat each Chocolate brownie with this chocolate sauce or simply drizzle it over them.
