Brownies:
In a large bowl, combine cocoa powder and baking soda.
Stir in 1/3 cup of melted butter until smooth.
Add boiling water and stir slowly as mixture thickens.
Next, add sugar, eggs, vanilla and remaining butter, stirring until incorporated. Lastly, stir in flour and salt.

Pour 2/3 of the brownie batter into greased baking pan, spreading flat with stirring spoon.

I made these last week and they are DELICIOUS. I did cut the salt in the Matcha Swirl to 1/2 tsp because I thought 1 tsp is overwhelming. I think it’s probably to cut the sweetness, however, it’s still pretty salty with just the 1/2 tsp and what can I say – I have a sweet tooth. The brownie itself was deliciously fudgy! YUM
