Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Mix Eggs and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
