✔️ Why should you try it?
- The best dense and fudgy brownies.
- Delicious chocolate orange flavour combo.
- Quick and easy to make.
- Perfect for Christmas.
- Can be frozen.
🥘 Ingredients

- Chocolate Orange - 1 Terry's milk chocolate orange. You can also use dark chocolate orange for a richer taste.
- Butter - unsalted butter is best for this recipe.
- Dark Chocolate - use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa solids.
- Eggs - large eggs at room temperature.
- Brown Sugar - light brown sugar gives the brownies a lovely fudgy texture. Use half caster sugar and half light brown sugar for a lighter textured brownie.
- Self Raising Flour - use plain flour instead for a denser textured brownie.
- Cocoa Powder - a good quality cocoa powder such as Green & Blacks. Do not use drinking chocolate.
- Orange - the zest of 1 orange gives the brownies an extra orangy flavour.
- Optional topping - 12 chocolate orange minis and a small amount of melted dark chocolate to stick them in place.
🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in the microwave. Do this in 30-second bursts and stir each time.
Two: Use an electric whisk to whisk together the eggs for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and whisk for a further minute. Mix in the cooled melted dark chocolate mixture.
Three: Add the cocoa powder and flour and gently mix.
Four: Fold in the chopped Terry's chocolate orange pieces and orange zest.

Five: Spoon the brownie mixture into a lined baking tin and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
Six: Allow the brownies to cool in the tin before cutting into bars. Use a little melted dark chocolate to stick chocolate orange minis onto the top of each brownie.

💭 Top tips
- Let the brownies cool fully before cutting them into bars. I sometimes speed up the cooling process by placing the brownie tin in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife to cut neat bars and clean the knife with kitchen paper between each cut (be careful when you do this!).
- Line your baking tin with non-stick baking paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the tin.
🍴 Serving suggestions
These fudgy brownies are perfect for snacks, bake sales and dessert.
If you're serving the chocolate orange brownies for dessert, warm each bar in the microwave for 30-40 seconds and serve with a dollop of no-churn honeycomb ice cream! If you love that chocolate orange flavour combo, you'll want to try these easy chocolate orange muffins too!

🥡 Storage
Store: The cut brownies will keep in an airtight container or cake tin for up to 5 days.
Freeze: The brownies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the brownies cool fully before placing them in a freezer-safe container and stashing them away in your freezer for later use.
