Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and spray it with nonstick spray. Set it aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk the sugars into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture gently until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before proceeding with the frosting and ganache.

Notes

Ensure to let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent them from cooking.
For a more vibrant color, adjust the amount of food coloring to your liking.
You can customize the frosting thickness by adding more or less milk.
