["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 180u00b0C / 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."]

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

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.
