["Very easy. Cream the sugar and margarine. Add the next three ingredients and mix well.", "Dump the next three dry ingredients in on top and mix well, then add the chocolate chips and almonds to combine. (NOTE: If you can find vegan peanut butter chips, use them! Amaaazing flavor! Unfortunately I can't get them anymore.).", "Spread the chocolate batter in a greased & floured 8"" square pan.", "From peanut butter to egg replacer: cream these ingredients together in a separate bowl.", "Drop dollops of peanut butter into the top of the chocolate, and use a fork to swirl it in patterns like you were making a marbled cake. (Hint- you just may have a little extra safely vegan batter to sample. *wink*.", "Bake at 350 F for about 30-35 minutes. Watch them, check after 25 minutes or so and remove from oven as soon as the middle is no longer complete goo. This seems to be the key to the ultimate chewy-divine brownie experience.", "When completely cooled, cut into 16 squares, or as desired. If you don't wait, it goes pretty crumbly. (Ahem, this girl knows from experience. LOL.).", "Finally -- enjoy!"]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
