Mayan Orange Brownies

I found this recipe on the Closet Cooking food blog. Since I live orange and chocolate together I knew I had to give these a try, and they didn’t disappoint.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c. butter
• 2 Green and Blacks Maya Gold chocolate bars, divided
• 1 c. white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 TBSP orange juice
• 1 tsp. orange zest
• 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
3. Melt the butter and one Maya Gold chocolate bar in a sauce pan and remove from heat and let cool.
4. Stir in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange juice and orange zest.
5. Mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder.
6. Chunk the remaining chocolate bar and stir it in.
7. Spread batter into prepared pan.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes–mine actually took closer to 45 minutes.
