Good quality chocolates makes good brownies. So here can you pick good mellow Milk chocolate or intense one more like semi or bittersweet. 80% dark chocolate really works well here.
Chop the chocolate slab for better results.
Use double boiler technique for melting chocolate into butter.
Double Boiling Technique
This is a technique where you melt butter and chocolate together in a glass bowl with Steam. To do so , fill a pot with one or two inches of water.Place the glass bowl on top of the pot. Next, add butter and chocolate in the glass bowl and turn on your burner to a simmer. As the water heats in the pot, steam is released and trapped between the bowl and the the pot, which in turn heats the butter and chocolate in the glass bowl.
Heres the recipe:
