Crispy edges and a fudgey middle is what makes brownies so special. Melissa Clark at the New York Times has taken a new twist on an old standard. Unsweetened chocolate, dark brown sugar, olive oil and flaky salt combine in a way that will have you coming back for more...more brownies and Zinfandel!
Ingredients
- 6 tbsps mild extra virgin olive oil

- Pour into the prepared pan, and bak until set and firm to the touch, about 20-25 minutes.
- Immediately sprinkle brownies with flaky salt while still warm, and let cool.
