This is from the Hershey's site. They are very rich. During Tishrei I couldn't bake enough to keep up with my sons eating them. (They found some that had been out for a week, in a ziploc bag, and said those were great too.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1 1/2 sticks margarine
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp PURE vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

In a large bowl combine margarine, sugar and PURE vanilla extract. Add eggs. Beat untill creamy. Mix in dry ingredients until well blended.

Spread into a greased 8" square baking pan. Bake 40-45 min. (I find it needs to bake longer than that.) or until sides pull away from the pan.

Will it work if I melt the margarine?

I never tried it that way. It may or it make the batter too runny.

Why can't you mix by hand? I only recently got a stand mixer after quite a few years. I have always baked every recipe I wanted to, never let lack of a mixer stop me. Even now that I have one, I am so used to not having one that I rarely use it...

I luv the recipe for choc cake from the back of the hershys cocoa.

I prefer it to brownies but if thats more ur thing add an egg and bake it in a larger pan.
easy and yummy.

I cant hand mix anything that requires margarine.
hence need for the mixed
oh and btw the recipe im refering to doent need a mixer. Very Happy

Have you ever tried to smash margarine into a recipe? Its really hard;doable but not worth the effort for me.

You can get a decent hand mixer for $10-15. I used that for 2 yrs until I got a proper mixer.

I've done it (easily) by leaving the margarine out on the counter for a few hours. Once it's REALLY soft, it's no problem at all.

Could you use oil instead of margarine - that will solve the problem of not having a machine.

I'm going to try it with oil, but next week IYH.

I do this often -- or, I pop the margarine into the microwave for just a few seconds, just enough to soften it up but not to much that it actually melts. I have a small kitchen and we don't have room for many appliances.

But melting the margarine won't make the same over watery brownies as oil.

Shame. I used oil and its a flop.

How much oil did you use? I have never in my entire baking "career" had a problem substituting oil for margarine in a cake or brownies...cookies, you can't do it. But cakes and brownies? Never once had a problem.

you can actually do it ... just use LESS oil than the margarine ...

& for the person who bakes by hand - all you need is a hand wisk and maybe use crisco as it's softer

Interesting, I poured it into a pie crust and then there was batter left over so I poured that into muffin tins.

The muffin ones caved in while baking but the pie came out pretty ok. Guess I'll buy ice cream to make it more appetizing.

Thanks.
