1.       Preheat over to 350 degrees.

2.       Line a square 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper or give it a coating of baking spray.

3.       Melt the butter on the stove top in a sauce pan or in the microwave. Whisk in sugar, salt and cocoa powder, and then stir in vanilla extract.

4.       In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs well, and then whisk in the chocolate mixture until well combined.
