Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants.

Prepare a bowl with 200 grams of dark chocolate nibs.

Add 50 grams of dark cocoa powder and 150 grams of cold diced butter to the bowl.

Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water (about 2 centimeters deep) to melt the chocolate and butter gently.

Prepare a baking tray measuring 16 by 25 centimeters (approximately 6 by 10 inches) by cutting two pieces of parchment paper to fit the base and sides.

Grease the tray and the bottom piece of parchment paper with a small cube of butter to prevent sliding.

In a separate bowl, combine 200 grams of white sugar and 100 grams of brown sugar and whisk using an electric whisk to incorporate air.

Add 3 eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture while whisking.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit) and set it to bake mode with no fan.

Add a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture.

Once the chocolate and butter mixture is melted and warm (not hot), add it to the sugar mixture while whisking.

Scrape down the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is well mixed.

Sift in 80 grams of all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the mixture without knocking out the air.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, checking for the brownie to rise slightly from the edges towards the middle.
