🥘 Ingredients
Chocolate Orange - 1 Terry's Milk Chocolate Orange (157g). You can also use dark Chocolate Rrange for a richer taste.
Butter - unsalted butter is best for this Terry's chocolate orange 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 - a small amount of flour is needed to bind the ingredients together.
Cocoa Powder - use a good quality cocoa powder such as Green & Blacks.
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.
🔪 How to make Terry's Chocolate Orange Brownies
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
- Line your baking tin with non-stick baking paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the tin.
- Use good quality cocoa powder. Remember, cocoa powder is not the same as hot chocolate or drinking chocolate.
- It's important to keep a close watch on your brownies towards the end of their baking time. Oven temperatures can vary, so timing may differ between appliances. When the brownies appear almost finished baking, insert a toothpick into the centre. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, that's the ideal moment to remove the pan from the oven.
- 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!).
🍴 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!
📖 Variations
- Add 100g of Terry's white chocolate orange segments (chopped) for double chocolate orange brownies.
- Stir in 100g of chopped walnuts for crunch and texture.
- Add 80g of dried cranberries for an extra fruity flavour.
🥡 Storage
Store - The chocolate orange brownies can be kept 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.
Reheat - For me, brownies are at their absolute best when they're warm and the chocolate is all melty inside. That's why I always do a quick reheat on brownies before digging in. I place the brownies in the microwave and heat for 10-15 seconds.

The Terry's Chocolate story began in 1767 with the opening of a shop near Bootham Bar, York, selling lemon and orange candied peel. In 1823, Joseph Terry joined the company and using his specialist skills, developed new lines of chocolate, confectionery, candied peel and marmalade. Fast forward to 1932, the iconic Terry's Chocolate Orange was born, revolutionising the chocolate industry and becoming an immediate hit. Over the last fifty years, the company has changed hands numerous times. It's been owned by Trust House Forts, Colgate-Palmolive, United Biscuits, Kraft Foods, and currently Carambar & Co (2023).
