A brownie so good you'll want to marry it!

I love this simple and easy brownie recipe so much I want to marry it. Well, not,really.  It just makes me so happy.  I don't get a chocolate craving too often but last night my stomach was calling for some chocolate. I needed something that would warm my soul.  I needed warm soft chewy yummy brownies. 

Melt the chocolate and butter.  Already a good combo!

 Pour it into a metal bowl and let it sit for two minutes.  This will cool the mixture enough so when you add the chocolate chips later they won't melt when it bakes in the oven. 

Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla to the cooled chocolate and mix until just incorporated.

Add the flour and chocolate chips.

 Mix it up and pour it into a pan.

And please don't step on the kitty on your way to the oven like I did. :(   Sorry Dizzy!
She likes to hang out in the kitchen when I cook and sometimes I forget she's there keeping me company.

See how the chocolate chips don't melt?
