Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare and bake One Bowl Brownies as directed.
- Microwave chocolate and margarine in a medium microwavable bowl on High for 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir in corn syrup and milk until well blended.
- Spread the chocolate glaze over the brownies.
- Let stand for 1 hour to set.
- Garnish with large walnut pieces before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If you're out of corn syrup, maple syrup can be a good substitute for the glaze. Make sure to stir the chocolate continuously when melting to avoid burning. If you prefer a nut-free option, simply omit the walnuts or replace them with slivers of toasted coconut.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate glazed brownies are perfect on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. For a festive touch, serve alongside slices of Karen'S Pumpkin Pie during holiday gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm, which will enhance the chocolate glaze's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the brownies a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Just add the chocolate glaze on the day you plan to serve for the best taste and texture.
What can I use instead of margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter is a great alternative that will provide a richer flavor. You can also try coconut oil for a dairy-free option, keeping in mind it may slightly alter the flavor profile.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
To check if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter, they're perfect. They will continue to set as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
