Chocolate Orange Brownies – Easy & DELICIOUS!

These Chocolate Orange Brownies are so quick and easy to make.  Terry’s Chocolate Orange in a dense, fudgy brownie. SO delicious!

I made these weeks ago as a bit of an experiment on my Instagram Stories and they 100% improved that rubbish day I was having.

I thought I’d share them here with you, because whose day cannot be improved by a Chocolate Orange Brownie?!

You’ll love this Chocolate Orange Brownie recipe because: 

✅ Prepared in under 10 minutes.
✅ Classic Chocolate Orange flavour combo.
✅ Perfectly fudgy, rich brownies every time. 😍

Which tin do I use to bake brownies in?

I use a baking tin like this one. 

Sometimes I split this mixture between two, and reduce the cooking time, for thinner brownies, but when putting chunks of Terry’s Chocolate Orange in in I think it works best as a deep brownie.

Which chocolate should I use for brownies?

I try to use my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe.

This chocolate is just amazing, it melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe. 

When you buy it in bulk (1kg bags at a time) from Amazon it works out about the same price as supermarket chocolate. A good investment I think as it really does make SUCH a difference and is so easy to use.

TIPS FOR MAKING CREME EGG BROWNIES:

• Don’t overbake your brownies, cook until only just set.
• Be sure to let your Chocolate Orange Brownies cool down fully before cutting. 
• If you keep the Chocolate Orange Brownies in an air tight tin they will stay fresh for five days. There is no need to refrigerate them.
• I’m often asked, can you freeze chocolate brownies? Yes! After cutting them into portions, when they are completely cool, wrap in baking paper and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature for a treat whenever you fancy.
• I use baking parchment or baking paper for almost all of my bakes and cakes. It means no sticking, ever. I buy it in bulk from Amazon so I never run out and it’s also heaps cheaper that way. Not to be confused with greaseproof paper, which needs to be oiled first.

Fancy some other brownie ideas?

• Nutella Brownies – By some magic, these have just 3 ingredients -WHAT?!
• Oreo Brownies with Raspberries – Add fruit = practically health food.
• Salted Caramel Brownies – Smothered in caramel OMG 😍

Chocolate Orange Brownies

These Chocolate Orange Browniesare so quick and easy to make.  Piles of Terry's Chocolate Orange in a dense, fudgy brownie. SO delicious!

Course Dessert

Cuisine Family Food, vegetarian

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Servings 16 Squares

Calories 336kcal

Ingredients

• 250 g Butter See Note 1
• 200 g 70% Dark chocolate See Note 2
• 100 g Milk chocolate See Note 2
• 300 g Soft light brown sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 175 g Plain flour
• Zest of an Orange See Note 3
• 2 Terry's Chocolate Oranges See Note 4

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180c.
• Line a baking tray with baking paper (I used a 25x25cm tin).
• In a saucepan on a very low heat, melt the butter.
• When it's starting to melt, add in the dark chocolate and milk chocolate and the sugar and stir until it's all melted together.
• Once they are melted remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes. 
• Beat in each egg, one by one.
• Stir in the flour. 
• Chop 1 and a half of the Terry's Chocolate Oranges into large chunks and stir into the brownie batter.
• Pour into your baking tin and top with the remaining Chocolate Orange segments.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are just solid but the middle still has a little wobble. Don't overbake them!
• Ovens do vary so don't be alarmed if you recipe takes that little bit longer. Brownies are better under-done than over. 
• Allow to cool COMPLETELY before cutting up (if you can bare it!)

Notes

Note 1 - Butter

Please do use butter (not margarine) if you can help it, the taste and texture will be much better. If you have a dairy allergy or similar and need to substitute, it will work (obviously you'll need to change up the chocolate too) but you might need to adjust the cooking time a little depending on the consistency of the spread you use.

Note 2 - Chocolate

This recipe use a mixture of very dark chocolate and sweeter for a good balance of flavour. I wouldn't recommend only using milk chocolate as they just won't be dense/fudgy in the same way. A slightly difference ratio if you don't have enough of either will be fine though!

Note 3 - Orange Zest

You can substitute (or add in too) 1 tsp of Orange Extract or oil if you'd like to for added flavour.

Note 4 - Terry's Chocolate Oranges

These are the 157g regular size ones. If you can only get another size, just use about 300g worth. If you can't get Terry's Chocolate Oranges, you can substitute any other chocolate and add in Orange Extract as mentioned above.
