1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for baking pan
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies are evenly baked.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent the brownies from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Black cat brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from Halloween parties to potlucks. With their rich chocolate flavor and moist texture, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
