• (and then lightly butter the foil)-- folding the overhang down along outside of the pan.
• In the top of a double boiler set over hot, not simmering, water, melt the unsweetened chocolate with the butter, stirring frequently until smooth Remove the top part of the double boiler from the bottom and transfer the chocolate mixture to a large (preferably glass) bowl.
• Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 10 minutes, or until tepid.
• Add the sugar and salt to the chocolate mixture.
• Using a hand-held electric mixer set at low speed, beat mixture for 15 to 20 seconds, until blended Scrape the bottom and side of the bowl with a rubber spatula and then beat in the corn syrup and the vanilla.

• Remove the brownies from the foil and store in an airtight container at room temperature for four to five days.
