Deep Dish Brownies with an Orange Twist


Pudgy meets Fudgy, originally uploaded by YummySommer.
These brownies are most certainly a family treat! They disappear even faster than it takes to prep. And as you can see, it's quite difficult to take a photo of without little chubby baby hands in the way!

This is the go to dish on a lazy baking day! Easy doubled, tripled. or even quadrupled- if you roll like that :)


Prep Time:10 minutes

Cook Time: 40-45 minutes


Original Recipe Yield 12 bars
Inspired from Food Network's How to Boil Water

Ingredients

4oz unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoons of table salt
2 large cold eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
a dash of orange extract (optional)
1 cup all purpose flour
Directions

Preheat your oven to 325 F. Place oven rack on lowest shelf. Place aluminum foil in an 8 inch square pan. Butter foil.
Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes in a microwavable safe bowl. Stir, then continue to microwave or an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Careful not to overcook chocolate or else it will become grainy. You could also melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with a inch of simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted.
Now, stir brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, and salt into chocolate mixture until well incorporated. Next, stir in eggs one at a time. Stir each egg well before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract and a dash of orange extract.
Now carefully stir in flour and remaining 1/4 cup of white sugar. Be sure not to overmix or else brownies will become hard and not super ooey gooey moist.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes. Brownies are ready when toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the brownies.
Allow to cool on wire rack.
Enjoy the taste and smell!!!
