Start with the brownies by melting 8 oz of dark chocolate and 4 oz of unsalted butter in a double boiler.

Chop the chocolate roughly before melting.

In a separate bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk with 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 cup light brown sugar for about 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.

Combine the melted chocolate and butter with the egg mixture and whisk until thickened.

Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just incorporated.

Stir in chocolate chips and spread the batter into a lined 9-inch square baking pan.

Pit the dates and lay them out in the batter for even distribution.

Sprinkle flaky salt on top before baking.

Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes and let cool completely before slicing.
