Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (Or whatever temperature is listed on the back of the brownie mix.) Combine the brownie mix, oil, water, and 2 eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk well. Then pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or as listed on packaging. Cool the brownies completely before moving on. You can place the pan in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling if needed.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double-boiler or in the microwave. Stir it until smooth. Then allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Place the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat on high until light and fluffy, at least 3-5 minutes. Then drizzle in the melted chocolate and beat until the mixture is even.
- Scrape the bowl with a spatula and turn on high again. Add the remaining 4 eggs, one at a time, allowing the mixture to beat a solid 3 minutes after adding each egg, 12 minutes total. Stop and scrape the bowl as needed.
- Spread the chocolate mousse over the top of the cooled brownies. Using a veggie peeler, shave chocolate curls over the top if desired.
- Chill for 2 hours, or until ready to cut and serve.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 300°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, butter the foil, place the pan on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour and salt.
- Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Slowly and gently melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and add the butter, stirring so that it melts. It's important that the chocolate and butter not get very hot. However, if the butter is not melting, you can put the bowl back over the still-hot water for a minute. If you've got a couple of little bits of unmelted butter, leave them-it's better to have a few bits than to overheat the whole. Set the chocolate aside for the moment.
- Working with a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until they are thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Lower the mixer speed and pour in the chocolate-butter, mixing only until it is incorporated-you'll have a thick, creamy batter. Add the dry ingredients and mix at low speed for about 30 seconds-the dry ingredients won't be completely incorporated and that's fine. Finish folding in the dry ingredients by hand with a rubber spatula. (This batter was almost like a mousse when it was done being mixed, and very light in color)
- Scrape the batter into the pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is dry and crackled and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and allow the brownies to cool to warm or room temperature.
- (These brownies ended up with a thin crispy layer on top and rose significantly during baking and then subsequently caved in after cooling slightly!)
- Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan, using the foil edges as handles, and transfer to a cutting board. With a long-bladed knife, cut the brownies into 16 squares, each roughly 2 inches on a side, taking care not to cut through the foil.
- Serving: The brownies are good just warm or at room temperature; they're even fine cold. I like these with a little something on top or alongside-good go-alongs are whipped crème fraiche or whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce or even all three!
- Storing: Wrapped well, these can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

GOURMET FRENCH BROWNIES
This is my varation of an orange brownie recipe I saw in the NY Times and while back, I must say that it's awesome. These are dense but light and very chocolaty. The recipe is close to that of a soufflé, almost mousse like in texture. They take a little time but it will be worth your while.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine Frangelica and 2 tablespoons sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer until liquid is reduce to about 3 tablespoons of syrup, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Butter and sugar the paper. Separate 9 of the eggs, putting the whites in a mixers bowl and 7 yolks into a medium bowl. (Use remaining yolks for another use.) Add the 2 remaining whole eggs and ¼ a cup of powdered sugar to yolks, whisk until blended.
- In the microwave, or in a double boiler, melt chocolate. Put the melted chocolate in a mixing bowl and stir in butter until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolk mixture then stir in cinnamon.
- Add remaining powdered sugar to egg white and beat with a mixer until it forms stiff peaks. Fold about 1 cup of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture until blended. Add chocolate mixture to the egg white in bowl and fold in until smooth. Fold in reserved Frangelica syrup, vanilla and half the walnuts.
- Pour into prepared baking pan, and use a spatula to spread evenly to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts, and fleur de sel evenly over the top. Place in the heated oven. When top is puffed up, about 20-25 minutes, insert knife into the center and see if it comes out clean, if it does then remove from oven. While brownies are still hot, use a paring knife to trim the sides, which may have puffed up over the rim of the baking pan. Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper on top of the brownies, then invert. Remove top pan and sheet of parchment paper. Let brownies rest at room temperature for 8 hours. Cut into 12 rectangles and enjoy!
