Kim's South of the Border Brownies

This recipe was adapted from a Hershey's brownie recipe.  Mine is better, of course!  You can add the "special ingredient" for a little kick, or leave it out for a gooey, chocolatey brownie.

- 1 C margarine
- 2 C sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 2 Tbl light Karo syrup
-------------
- 3/4 C cocoa
- 1 C flour + 1 Tbl
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste.  **optional)

Preheat oven to 350 d.  Grease a 9x13 pan. 

Melt margarine on stove.  Stir in sugar, vanilla, Karo syrup.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well with a spoon (I always use a  wooden spoon -- just works best!)  Mix in cocoa, flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Pour into pan.  Bake 25-30 minutes depending on oven (but best if "underbaked.")  YUM!
