Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Brownie Petit Fours
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt together, stirring until smooth.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold this mixture into the chocolate batter gently.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. Heat heavy whipping cream until simmering. Pour over chopped semisweet chocolate and stir until smooth ganache forms.
  8. Cut brownies into small squares or rectangles. Dip each piece into the ganache, allowing excess to drip off.
  9. Sprinkle fleur de sel over the ganache-coated treats while still setting.
