JOYCE'S BEST EVER BROWNIES

These brownies are almost a staple of life in our family, and have moved mountains when given to people as a thank you or as an incentive



5 tbsp cocoa
½ cup margarine
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
½ tsp. vanilla
½ cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts(optional)

Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes

Melt cocoa with margarine in microwave. Beat eggs and add sugar gradually, beat till fluffy and thick. (the secret is in adding the sugar slowly and beating till thick)

Add melted cocoa and margarine mixture, vanilla, flour, salt and walnuts. Pour into greased 8 x 8 pan. Bake till firm and shiny.

To make a San Francisco Foggy…put a large piece of brownie on a plate, pour over chocolate sauce and add whipping cream or top with a fudge icing and just enjoy.

Chocolate Fudge Icing

Mix 2 tbsp soft margarine with 2 tbsp cocoa, add ½ cup icing sugar, then add enough HOT water so that it is still stiff, but mixable, then put in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make it runny and pour over warm brownies. This way is hardens and makes a fudgy type topping.
