Ingredients for Chocolate Orange Brownies
- Butter – NOT margarine
- Dark and milk chocolate – This recipe uses a mixture of very dark chocolate and milk chocolate for a good balance of flavour. I wouldn’t recommend only using milk chocolate as they won’t be dense/fudgy in the same way. A slightly different ratio if you don’t have enough of either will be fine though!
- Soft light brown sugar
- Eggs – I use medium free-range
- Plain flour
- Orange zest – You can substitute (or add in) 1 tsp of orange extract or oil for added flavour
- 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
How to make Chocolate Orange Brownies
1. In a pan, melt the butter, then the chocolate and sugar. Stir well.
2. Once melted, remove from the heat. After 10 minutes, beat in the eggs.
3. Stir in the flour, some chunks of chocolate orange and zest of orange.
4. Pour into the tin, top with chocolate orange segments and bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 180C.
Hint: Be VERY careful not to overbake and allow to cool completely before cutting up.
Substitutions
- Orange zest – You can substitute (or add in) 1 tsp of orange extract or oil for added flavourT
- Terry’s Chocolate Oranges – If you can’t get Terry’s Chocolate Oranges, you can substitute any other chocolate and add in orange extract as mentioned above
Storing
If you keep the Chocolate Orange Brownies in an airtight tin they will stay fresh for up to 5 days. There is no need to refrigerate them.
Can you freeze chocolate brownies?
Yes! I often make a double batch and freeze. 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.
Top tipS
Best type of tin to use
I use a square one like this one as it gives the right amount of depth.
Best kind of chocolate to use
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 to 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.
Be careful not to overbake
Don’t overbake your brownies – cook until only just set.
Cool down
Be sure to let your Chocolate Orange Brownies cool down fully before cutting.
FAQs
Yes. I use baking parchment or baking paper for almost all of my bakes and cakes. It means no sticking, ever.
I buy this one 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.
Yes – actually I have lots. Try my Peanut Butter Brownies, my Nutella Brownies, Creme Egg Brownies or Chocolate Brownies with Celebrations.
Or search my site for brownies and lots more will come up!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper (I used a 25x25cm tin).
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on a very low heat.

- Once melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.

- Bake for 20-25 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!)
