Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line muffin tins with paper baking cups.
2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chopped semisweet baking chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled chocolate mixture with sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. If desired, fold in the optional chopped nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.
4
Mix the ingredients until well blended and smooth, but be cautious not to overmix the batter.
5
Carefully fill each lined muffin cup with approximately 1/4 cup of the brownie batter, ensuring each cup is evenly filled for uniform baking.
6
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 23-27 minutes. Check for doneness by gently tapping the tops; they should lightly spring back when touched.

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
