Chocolate Orange Brownies

These chocolate orange brownies are super soft and fudgy with a hint of orange flavour throughout, just like a Terry's Chocolate Orange. They freeze well too! 

Regular readers of this blog will attest that I have a bit of a thing for any dessert falling under the descriptive umbrella "chocolate orange". e have featured recipes for chocolate orange cheesecake, chocolate orange trifle, chocolate orange truffles, chocolate orange bread pudding...and the list goes on.

I was thinking today that brownie sundaes would be a nice surprise for the kids on the last day of their Thanksgiving school break. I was hit with the inspiration of a Chocolate Orange Brownie to form the base of the sundaes. It really is a just a slight variation on my regular brownie recipe but one that makes a big difference.

I know there are plenty of chocolate-orange lovers out there, so be sure to give this one a try. If you dare, whip up a batch of homemade hot fudge sauce and sample them in a decadent chocolate orange sundae!
