Position a rack in the center of the oven and pre-heat to 325.
Line an 8 inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving the edges long enough to use as handles to lift out the brownies after they bake.
In a medium pan, melt the chocolate, butter and water and stir until smooth.
With a wooden spoon beat in the sugar, salt and vanilla.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the flour until just combined.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until a crust forms on the top. The center of the brownies will be moist when tested with a toothpick.
Do NOT OVER BAKE.
Place pan on a rack and cool for 3 hours or overnight.
Remove brownies from pan and cut into 16 squares.
Enjoy!
