Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a large heavy saucepan, heat 1 1/4 cups of sugar, chocolate chips, applesauce, and margarine over low heat. Stir constantly until the chips are melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
