Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 355 °F (180 °C). Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and slightly foamy.
- 3
Melt the margarine and stir it into the egg-sugar mixture along with the vanilla extract.
- 4
Sift together the sweetened cocoa, unsweetened cocoa, flour, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.
- 5
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks and chopped nuts.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes.
- 7
The brownie is done when the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist.
- 8
Cut into squares while still warm and serve with vanilla ice cream. To freeze, wrap each square individually and reheat in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra fudgy center, pull the brownie out of the oven when the middle still has a slight jiggle — it will firm up as it cools. Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the texture dense and tender.
