- To continue, Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy.
- Very carefully, fold the chocolate in the the egg mixture, then sift in the flour. Mix with spatula until no pockets of flour are left.
- Pour the mixture in the prepared baking tray and spread into an even layer.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until just soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and set aside until fully cooled.
- Next prepare some royal icing in a bowl following the package instruction.
- Trim the edge of the brownie to obtain a neat rectangle and cut out triangles from it.
- Transfer the triangles on a board and decorate with the royal icing and a few sprinkle or sweets. Set aside to set and store in a tight container until ready to eat.
