Preheat oven to 350 F.
Melt butter and chocolate over very low heat in a small saucepan.
Transfer to a bowl.
Stir sugar into chocolate mixture.
Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Add vanilla.
Slowly stir in flour and salt until there are no streaks.
If using chocolate chips, stir them in.
Pour batter into a 13 x 9 x 2 pan, greased or lined with parchment paper.
If using nuts, scatter them on top.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Insert a toothpick, and when there’s a few moist crumbs on it, remove from oven.
Cool on a rack before serving (if you can wait that long).
