Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the flour and salt.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars and serving.
