Chai Spiced Brownies

Ahem.  You're welcome.

1/2 cup butter
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 all-purpose flour (or GF blend)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp ginger
1/3 cup chocolate chips

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over double boiler.  Stir sugar into chocolate mixture.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating with a wooden spoon after each addition just until combined.  Stir in the vanilla.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and spices.  Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips, reserving some for the top, if desired.

Spread batter into 8x8" pan lined with parchment. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake in a 350F oven for 20-25 minutes.
