No...please don't

You can melt down some margarine and use that in an equal amount instead.

Yes, you can. Fat is fat is fat when it comes to cooking. You can use olive oil, butter, lard, bacon fat, margarine (if you want to die a slow death from trans fats). As far as the method is concerned, there is no appreciable difference. Just keep in mind that whatever fat product you use, you will also impart the flavor of that product to your brownies. I think that's where the nos are coming from.

So if you use olive oil, you will have brownies with a hint of olive. If you use bacon fat, you will have bacon-flavored brownies, which actually sounds pretty awesome.
