Place the chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl.

Melt gently over simmering water or in short microwave bursts.

Allow to cool slightly.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Fold gently until just combined.

Mix in any optional additions.

Pour into the prepared tin.

Bake for 25–30 minutes.

🐉 Dragon’s Tip

For the fudgiest brownies, slightly underbake them and allow them to finish setting as they cool.

📜 Lore of the Hoard

The Frost Dragons of Snowdrift Peak are known for their love of chocolate, often trading rare gemstones for cacao brought from warmer lands. During the longest nights of winter, enormous trays of brownies are baked and shared amongst family, friends, and travellers seeking shelter from the cold. Legend claims the first batch was accidentally underbaked by a distracted dragon baker, creating the wonderfully fudgy texture that remains beloved to this day. ❄️🐉
