Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 11×17 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1 1/2 cups of margarine with sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the eggs, one at a time,fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Mix in 1 cup of cocoa powder, the flour, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and the chopped walnuts, and scoop the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes; set on a rack to cool.
- To make the first frosting layer, beat 1/2 cup of margarine until fluffy, add the instant pudding powder and 3 tablespoons milk and mix until smooth. Gradually beat in 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar. Spread the frosting on the cooled brownies and set them aside to let the frosting firm up.

Add more milk as necessary to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. Spread the second frosting on top of the first.
