2. Melt butter and dark chocolate together, then let it slightly cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until creamy. Stir in vanilla.
4. Sift in cocoa powder and flour, then gently mix until just combined.

Notes
Serve warm in a mini cast-iron skillet for maximum ooze-factor—as experienced at Melt n Dip Ballwin.
Use Belgian chocolate for an authentic depth of flavor.
Try remixing the recipe with additional toppings like lemon cheesecake chunks or a cookie dough core.
Preparation takes under 1 hour—ideal for indulgent weeknights or dessert guests.
