The Best Easter Chocolate Brownies Ever! image

This is our family recipe for chocolate brownies that we make for Easter. They never hang around long so I try to make at least 2 batches at a time! These are incredibly easy to make - the kids can make them without any fuss!

Time 35m

Yield 30 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup cocoa powder (best quality)
3/4 cup margarine
2 cups granulated sugar (I often reduce to 1 3/4)
4 large free range eggs
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 cups confectioners' sugar (icing)
3 -4 tablespoons cocoa powder
water (enough to make a thick icing)
miniature chocolate egg (approx. 30)
candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the margarine in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave.
  • Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Mix well then beat in the eggs.
  • Fold in the sifted flour, baking powder & finally the walnuts if you're using them.
  • Pour into a dish (approx 9x13) lined with greased tin foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 350F for 30-40 minutes (depend on how gooey you like them!).
  • Allow to cool completely before icing.
  • To make the icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Carefully add a little water at a time until you have a nice thick icing.
  • Carefully spoon over the brownie and spread out evenly using a pallet knife. Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before adding the sprinkles (so they don't absorb moisture and leach out).
  • Score into approx 2" squares using a sharp knife and place a chocolate mini egg in the centre of each square.
  • When the icing has set you can then cut the brownie into the squares.
  • Store in an airtight container.
