Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, cocoa, and eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Add melted margarine and flour; mix well.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. If you're short on margarine, unsalted butter can be a suitable substitute. Make sure to mix your ingredients just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to dense brownies. You can also add nuts for extra texture or use mini chocolate chips for a different look.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or coffee. For a festive touch, serve alongside Cherry-Cranberry Pie during gatherings or special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the brownies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave a piece for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat.
