Triple Chocolate Chip Brownies

For my first post I thought I would introduce something that everybody loves...brownies. This are simple and get even better the next day. I sometimes add frosting to give them an extra kick, but I decided to keep it plain this time. I find this recipe to be pretty fool proof, so you could easily add your favorite nut or candy.
Triple Chocolate Chip Brownies

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter
1 ½ cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
4 large eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 cup of flour
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Double boil bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate with butter until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.
Stir in sugar, vanilla, and add eggs one at a time. Stir well after each addition. Stir in salt and the flour until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
