directions

  • Spray an 8 inch square pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper or foil, letting 2 opposite sides overhang. Spray parchment paper or foil with cooking spray.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a heat proof bowl. Place over a large pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally. When the butter is just about melted, remove the bowl. Carefully touch the cocoa mixture. It should feel warm, not hot.
  • Once the mixture is warm, add the eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Once the mixture is shiny and cohesive, add the flour. Stir 40 times.
  • Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Once cool, frost with peanut butter frosting and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
  • For frosting:

  • Cream butter and peanut butter until combined. Slowly stir in powdered sugar until incorporated. Spread over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
