Triple Chocolate Brownies

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Grease an 8×8 pan, and line with wax paper, leaving a few inches on each side so brownies can be lifted out when done.

In a large bowl, melt dark chocolate and butter in a double boiler, or in the microwave (at 15-30 second intervals) until just smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

Remove bowl from heat and using a spatula, mix in sugar and salt. Mixture will be slightly grainy.

Slowly add in eggs, one at a time, mixing well.

Add in flour and beat until smooth and batter pulls away from the bowl.

Pour batter into prepared pan and level by tapping gently on counter top. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing brownies from pan using wax paper. Place on rack and cool completely before frosting.

FROSTING:

Using a hand mixer, beat together softened butter, salt, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth.

Alternating by 1/2 cup powdered sugar and tablespoon milk at a time, beat into butter mixtures until light and fluffy.

Frost cooled brownies, and garnish with white chocolate shavings.
