Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan.
In a medium/large pot add the butter, sugar, milk and oil, on medium heat, heat until hot (but not boiling), stirring to combine, remove from the heat and add the unsweetened chopped chocolate, stir until smooth, stir in the vanilla, whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (make sure the chocolate has cooled to warm).
In a medium bowl bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine. Stir in the chocolate morsels or chips.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the brownies are set around the edges, and when lightly touched in the centre there is little or no dentation. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Store the cooled brownies in an airtight container. With parchment paper separating the layers, they will keep at room temperature for several days.They can also be frozen, freeze the completely cooled brownies in a freezer safe container, they will keep for up to three months in the freezer.
