Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips;

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a 9x13-inch pan.
Melt marg. (if using) and chocolate chips together in a double boiler. If you are not using vegan margarine, melt the chips in a bowl in the microwave in 20 second bursts. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix the egg replacer with the salt. Add the vegan sugar and vanilla and beat until well blended. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until just combined.
Add the flour and cocoa powder and mix until almost blended. Fold in the jalapenos, chilies and nuts or whatever else you're using.
Transfer batter to the prepared pan and bake until the top forms a cracked crust and the inside looks slightly moist, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool, then
Cut into squares and dust with vegan powdered sugar if you like, or frost them with your favorite vegan frosting, or just leave them be!
