TRIPLE ORANGE FUDGY BROWNIES WITH ORANGE GLAZED PECANS

Triple Orange Fudgy Brownies with Orange Glazed Pecans image

This is truly a labor of love. After all my conversations with the ladies in "The Power of Orange" group in Town Square I kept thinking about what I could make with orange marmalade and Tang drink mix that I bought. I love chocolate and orange mixed together and so I began thinking and thinking. Sorta like Winnie the Pooh when he...

Ingredients

BROWNIE BOTTOM
1 box fudge brownie mix, prepared as box suggests for fudge like brownies
ORANGE MARMALADE CREAM CHEESE LAYER
2 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c orange marmalade
1/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp fudge sauce, squeezable bottle
2 medium eggs
TANGY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1/2 - 3/4 c tang drink mix, dry (approx. i added a little at a time till i got color and taste i wanted)
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 tsp orange extract
1 1/2 Tbsp orange juice
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/4 stick butter
ORANGE GLAZED PECANS
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp tang
3 tsp orange rind
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 c roasted pecans

Steps:

1. Prepare you brownie mix and pour into a greased 9X13 pan
2. Blend the cream cheese, marmalade, powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla together. Whisk your eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the mix. Blend well. Should be a creamier easy spreadable consistancy. Now pour that over the brownies mix and gently spread over the top to cover. Next, take your fudge sauce and drizzle on top of cream cheese mixture. I used a knife and spreaded it out over the top. Bake as directed at 350 degrees but check on it. It may take more time due to the layering.
3. Prepare your frosting and set aside. The frosting was harder to give you amounts because I just kept putting more tang until I got my desired color and taste. Also, you may want to put more or less powdered sugar too.
4. The pecans are extremely tasty but I burnt them to blackness the first batch trying to roast them. lol Seriously though, they are expensive and I told myself you have to eat those. lol....I started eating them and couldn't eat anymore because they were too burnt. Well, you take this mixture (except for pecans) and cook in in a pan till it comes to a boil. I cooked mine for a few minutes and then took it off the burner. But, you want to cook it longer till a syrup type texture. Maybe 8 to 10 minutes. Then, pour your 2 cups of roasted pecans into the glaze and mix thoroughly. Then place them on parchment paper and spread them out to dry.
5. Once you remove your brownies from oven let cool and then ice. Top with your orange glazed pecans.

Time 33m

Yield 16 small brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 medium orange, zest of
1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325.
Mix together oil and sugar.
Add eggs, vanilla, zest, and juice.
Mix well.
Sift together dry ingredients.
Add to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour into greased 8x8 baking pan.
Bake 20-23 minutes until done.
Allow to sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before cutting.
NOTE:I made these again, and for some reason, they were not done until about 26 minutes-test them with a butterknife at 23 minutes, if it is still liquidy, bake for a little longer, when done, the knife won't come completely clean, but the brownies should NOT be liquidy.
Let me know how long it took you to bake them.

Tips:

Use a high-quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make your brownies dry.
Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These fudgy orange brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, tangy orange zest, and smooth frosting, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try!
