Jane Durham's Cake-like Brownies

Jane served these at our book club in April of 2016. These are now the Count of Monte Cristo Brownies. These are not my favorite brownies for flavor; rather they are good for cutting out shapes. I also used these for Duncan's Arrow of Light ceremony.

1 Square of Butter
4 Squares of Chocolate; 4 Ounces (melted over water)

1 1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
