Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with margarine.
- Melt the margarine and unsweetened chocolate in a large saucepan over very low heat.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla, and eggs. Beat well with an eggbeater.
- Stir in nuts.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or swapping half of the margarine for unsweetened applesauce. If you don't have unsweetened chocolate, use 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and reduce the sugar slightly. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent dessert. They also pair wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or tea, making them perfect for an afternoon snack or dessert after a meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, warm individual pieces in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or enjoy them cold for a fudgy treat.
