CHOCOLATE ORANGE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 24 x 20cm brownie tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, dark chocolate and orange zest in a non-stick saucepan and very gently melt over a low heat, stirring every now and then, until smooth - take care not to overheat it. Cool.
• Whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk until the mixture is pale, has doubled in volume and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted. Gently stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and cocoa, stir in, then add the orange chocolate.
• Pour into the lined tin and bake for 35-40 mins. Cool in the tin, then cut into squares.

CHOC ORANGE BROWNIES (JAFFA BROWNIES)

Steps:

• Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan.
• Place the jaffas in a bag (thick plastic is best, line a zip lock bag). Use a meat mallet to break them into halves and quarters, either is fine.
• In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave (stir every 20 seconds) until just smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sugar and flour. Fold in the jaffas.
• Spread into prepared tin, bake at 180oC for 30-35 minutes, the top should be just firm to touch. Let stand for 15 minutes (it will continue to cook while in the pan, so don't over cook it or they will be dry).
• Once cold (this will take about 2 hours) remove from the pan and cut into 12.
