Fudgy Brownies

This is from the Bridal BH&G recipe book. I really wanted brownies on Sunday so I just made them. Oh and decided to go for the chocolate-cream cheese frosting because, why not, right? The brownies were good, but the frosting was the best (in my opinion).

brownies
1/2 c. butter
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda

1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
2. In medium saucepan, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool.
3. Grease an 8"x 8" (or 9"x 9") pan, set aside.
4. Stir sugar into cooled chocolate mixture in saucepan. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating with spoon until just combined. Stir in the vanilla.
5. Add flour and baking soda to chocolate; stir until just combined.
6. Spread batter into the pan, bake for 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack; if desired, frost with Chocolate-Cream Cheese Frosting; cut into bars.
