Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the chocolate mixture and stir just until blended. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the brownie begins to pull away from the edge of the pan. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Heath Bits. Cover tightly with foil and cool completely on a wire rack. Remove the foil and cut into squares.
