Makes: 28 large squares


      10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips

      1 cup plus 2 tablespoons margarine, cut in small pieces

      4 large eggs, at room temperature

      2 1/3 cups granulated sugar

      3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

      1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

      3 tablespoons cocoa powder

      1/8 teaspoon salt


Melt chocolate and margarine in microwave for about a minute.

Beat eggs with fork. Mix in sugar. 

Mix flour, cocoa and salt together.

Pour chocolate into the egg mixture. 

Pour the flour mixture over the batter in three additions, using a rubber spatula to gently fold in each 
addition. Add vanilla.

Bake for approximately 35 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the brownies 
comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, and the surface is set, shiny, and perhaps beginning to 
crack slightly at the edges. Don't overbake these brownies! A gooey, chewy texture is part of their allure.
