Terry’s Chocolate Orange Brownies

Gorgeous Terry’s Chocolate Orange Brownies. All the rich, sticky wonder of a regular brownie, with added orange flavour.

Topped with Chocolate Orange Segments for the perfect festive chocolatey treat.

I LOVE Brownies. I hate it when you buy them from a store and they’re basically dense chocolate cake.

Brownies should be moist and sticky. They should stick to your teeth and give you an unbearably sexy smile.

The tops should crack like paper and the middles should never be overcooked.

The best brownies are messy and so rich that you’d feel sick if you ate two. Perfect!

One of my favourite things about baking brownies is that once you’ve found a recipe that works for you (and your oven – these things are temperamental!) you can add things to it!

It’s easy to add some mint or some chocolate chips for extra texture.

You can add raspberries or other fruit, which is just yum, and at this time of the year, you can add Terry’s Chocolate Orange for gorgeous chocolate and orange brownies.

Because at this time of the year, frankly, you need to be adding Terry’s Chocolate Orange to everything. Baking with Terry’s Chocolate Orange is always a big win in our house.

How to Make Chocolate Orange Brownies

Of course, you can add Chocolate Orange Segments to your simple chocolate orange brownies (don’t have to be Terry’s, Aldi’s pouches are fab and most of the supermarkets do their own!) to the tops without actually making your brownies orange flavour.

I make my brownies orange flavoured too though because they are awesome.

You have got a few different options when it comes to making Chocolate Orange Brownies.

I melt down 150g of Terry’s Chocolate Orange with 150g of Dark chocolate.

I also add the zest and juice of 1 large orange. Lots of orangey goodness.

You could skip the chocolate orange, use 300g of dark chocolate and with juice and zest.

Can You Make Brownies with Orange Extract?

I prefer using orange chocolate and fresh juice personally, but extract works well in a pinch.

Just substitute the orange juice and zest for 2tsp of orange extract.

Can You Make Brownies with Milk Chocolate?

I’ve heard a lot of people say that no, you can’t make brownies with milk chocolate, and you should always use dark. Some will even tell you that you need a high cocoa content for a good brownie.

To an extent, this is true. If you want a super-rich and intense flavour, high cocoa dark chocolate is the best.

But, I’ve made my Chocolate Orange Brownies with cheap Aldi own milk chocolate, and they still taste great. I make my chocolate orange brownies with cocoa, so even with milk chocolate, they are still fairly rich.

Certainly not bad. Use dark if you’ve got it, it is the best option, but don’t feel like you can’t make a batch of brownies if you haven’t. Milk chocolate brownies are yummy!

How to Melt Terry’s Chocolate Orange

I find that Chocolate Orange melts just like milk chocolate.

You could do this in the microwave in 10-second bursts, stirring after every burst. You could also do it over a Bain Marie.

To be honest, if I’m melting chocolate orange, milk chocolate or dark chocolate, I do it over a low heat in a small pan, stirring carefully.

I only bother with a Bain Marie with white chocolate, which is a little harder to work with.

Adding Chocolate Orange Segments to the Top

If you add your chocolate orange pieces to the tops of your brownies too soon, they’ll totally melt, or sink, and it just won’t look pretty. It’ll still taste awesome.

I add chocolate to the tops of my brownies for the last 5 minutes of baking, once the top is already set.

You could also add them after baking, as soon as you remove the brownies from the oven, and they’d still be hot enough to melt the bottom of the segments, securing them in place.

Again, up to you. Do what feels right!

Another alternative is bashing up some chocolate orange chunks and stirring them into the brownie mix, for more chocolate orange chip brownies.

Also, fab, but I prefer a smoother texture to my brownies.
