Neddy's Brownies

This recipe is from an old community cook book. These are called Neddy's Brownies, but no one remembers who Neddy was.

Mix them exactly as instructed, or you get hard flour lumps.

1 cup melted margarine
1 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate chips

If you like dark chocolate chips, now is the time to use them. Otherwise, semi-sweet ones are recommended.

Melt margarine over low heat in a saucepan.

When melted, stir in cocoa until smooth.

Let sit to cool a bit.

Meanwhile mix sugar, eggs, salt and flour in a bowl until smooth.

Add cocoa/margarine mixture and stir until blended.

Pour in a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Spread evenly.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.

The whole surface doesn't need to be covered, just nicely sprinkled.

Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes.

The edges should be just slightly pulling away from the edges of the pan, but don't bake too long.

Enjoy!! Even day old ones taste delicious when microwaved for a few seconds and served with ice cream put on top!
