CRANBERRY-ORANGE BROWNIES



Cranberry-Orange Brownies image

This is the perfect fall brownie! I absolutely love how these come out. The orange blossom water adds a delicate sweetness to the fudgy chocolate, while the cranberries give a surprising tangy flavor. The only problem is these brownies do not last very long--they'll be gone the second you put them on the table!

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a glass quart jar, layer the first seven ingredients in the order given. Cover and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • For optimal results, use fresh, ripe cranberries. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed before mixing into the batter.
  • To achieve a gooey, fudgy texture, use a combination of butter and oil in the brownie batter. Butter adds richness and flavor, while oil helps to keep the brownies moist and chewy.
  • Do not overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help them to set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a festive presentation, drizzle the brownies with melted white chocolate or sprinkle them with powdered sugar before serving.

Conclusion:

These cranberry brownies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, tart cranberries, and gooey texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these cranberry brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
