QuickChoc Chocolate Brownies

Easy to make and quick to eat, these brownies have always helped me win over new friends and keep my guests coming back for more.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 stick margarine, softened
• 5 Tablespoons cocoa
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla
• 1 Tbs hot water (optional)
• 1/2 cup nuts (any variety, optional)

DIRECTIONS

Mix all the ingredients. Hot water should be used to help thin out batter a little if mixing is difficult. Batter should not be soupy but should not be too firm. Spread batter in a greased 8x8" pan. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
