These brownies cook with a brownie layer on top and form a syrup in the bottom of the pan (the hot fudge). The brownies are great served warm with vanilla ice cream and when cold, just with the rich chocolate syrup poured over the top!

Sift together the following dry ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 tablespoons cocoa
¾ cup sugar

Stir in:

½ cup milk
2 tablespoons melted margarine
Blend in half-cup of pecans (optional)

Spread in a 9 inch loaf pan.

Mix together the following ingredients and sprinkle on top of the brownie:

½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa

Pour 1 ¾ cup hot water over all and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. The syrup forms on the bottom of the pan. Serve the brownie over ice cream drizzled with the syrup.
