Chocolate Orange Brownies
I’ve discovered a fun cookbook for g-kids. My Favorite Recipes book by Annabel Karmel. It’s an easy to use, stand up flip-over book. The paper is smooth and glossy so if you spill on it; wipes right off.
The G-kids are going to love making and munching on these rich chocolate brownies. With the step-by-step picture recipe, they can follow the recipe easily and make these tasty treats with hardly any help at all.
This recipe uses orange juice and zest to make the brownies extra tasty.
Mixing it with melted dark and white chocolate makes these brownies dense and delicious.
Just 20 mins to prepare and 35 mins to cook. Perfect served warm for dessert or as an afternoon treat.
