Melt chocolate and sugar and butter in microwave. Stir until smooth. Add water and allow to cool. Beat eggs into chocolate. Pour into 9x10 inch springform pan lined with foil-spray. (I don't think I will use the foil the next time....just spray the bottom of the pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 min. just until a crust forms. Don't overcook. It may look a little loose.
