Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Dust the top with edible silver dust for a sparkling finish.
Slice into 12 even squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
