Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (325F for convection oven). Line 9"x9" baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

  •  Add mixture to the prepared 9x9 pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Once finished baking, remove brownies from oven and decorate with 9 remaining chocolate orange segments.
  • Let cool for 5-10 mins in baking pan, then remove brownie from pan and finish cooling on wire baking rack.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • These brownies will continue to bake once removed from the oven and will become cake-like if in the oven for too long.
  • You are looking for wet crumb on a toothpick inserted into the centre. 
  • If making this recipe in a 8×8” pan – bake for 25-30 minutes.
