Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or microwave until melted and smooth.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar and light brown sugar until dissolved, then add eggs one by one and vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
  7. Heat heavy whipping cream until simmering. Pour over chopped semisweet chocolate and stir until smooth to create ganache.
  8. Once brownies are completely cooled, cut into small squares, dip each into ganache, and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
