Moist, Chocolatey and Delicious Brownies with a hint of Orange, dotted with Terry’s Chocolate Orange Chunks!
It’s not secret that I adore Chocolate Orange – I already have oodles of other Chocolate orange recipes on my blog, so I think that says it all really… One of my first recipes to get seriously popular was my Chocolate Orange Cookies, which are amazing by the way, like I have no joke made them over 50 times. My favourite Terry’s Chocolate Orange recipe however is my No-Bake Chocolate Orange Cheesecake because hello Cheesecake! Anyway, these brownies are AMAZING. (I realise I just said I preferred the Cheesecake, but brownies are brownies, so I like them ALL)
The delicious texture and moistness of a Brownie is heaven in a bite, and with the addition of the Chocolate Orange, these are utter perfection in my opinion. I make these in the same way as the majority of my other Brownie recipes. I melt the Chocolate & Butter and leave to cool. Whip the Sugar and Eggs till mousse like, fold through the chocolate mix, fold through the flour/cocoa powder and orange zest, and then add the oodles of Terry’s chunks. Seriously, delicious.
I always find using different brownie recipes is a good thing, and I love to test other brownie recipes out – some fail completely, and some you just don’t want to mess with! I did try baking these recently by using the Terry’s chocolate Orange itself as the base chocolate (rather than Dark Chocolate) but because of the orange oil in the chocolate, it didn’t quite bake in the same way. You could tell it was different as the consistency of the Terry’s and melted butter was so very runny, whereas the Dark chocolate mixed with the melted butter was thick and delicious. I’m not saying using Terry’s wouldn’t work, but you’d need to use two hole Terry’s in that, and also two Terry’s for the chunks.. so it gets expensive.
This makes 16 Brownies!
Ingredients
– 195g Unsalted Butter
– 195g Dark Chocolate, chopped ip
– 4 Medium/3 Large Eggs
– 275g Caster Sugar
– 90g Plain Flour
– 35g Cocoa Powder
– Zest of 1 Large Orange
– 2x 157g Terry’s Chocolate Orange, chopped up
Method
1) Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a 9″ Square baking tray with parchment paper.
2) Melt together the Butter, and Dark Chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, on the microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted. Leave to the side to cool to room temperature!
3) Using an electric whisk/stand mixer, whisk together the Eggs & Caster Sugar for a few minutes until the colour has turned pale, is very mousse like, and is double the original volume of the amount of eggs + sugar! You will know its done because when you lift the whisk up out of the mix it should leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing!
4) When whisked, pour the cooled chocolate mix over eggs and fold together carefully. It might take some time, but be patient – you don’t want to knock out the air you made up on the previous step!
5) Once completely combined, sift the cocoa powder and plain flour on top of the chocolate mix, add the orange zest, and then fold together again – still be careful to not knock out the air!
6) Once combined well, fold through the Chocolate Orange Chunks and pour into the prepared tin – bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes! Once baked, leave to cool in the tin completely.
Tips and Ideas
If you can’t find Terry’s Chocolate Orange anywhere, then use the same weight in Milk Chocolate, with zest of another Orange!
Warm these up in the microwave and serve with some ice-cream, a delicious dessert for any occasion!
Depending on your ovens, or how you mixed the brownies up, some can take up to an hour to bake successfully. I’ve never fully understood why, but don’t give up if they’re not done after 30 minutes – cover with foil and continue to bake for longer. I poke a skewer through them and wait till its mostly clean, and the mixture doesn’t wobble in the tin.
These will last in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks!
Enjoy!!

Sooooo delighted to see you have a recipe for these Jane, I’ve made your Terry’s chocolate cheesecake umpteen times and they always go down a treat! Thank you so much for your time & effort put in to passing on your wisdom to others! Attempting these on Thursday & I can’t wait!! Sophie xxx
Awh its okay! And thank you! and enjoy them xx
I made these at the weekend for lunch with friends, they were delicious! I served them warm with vanilla ice cream.
I will be trying more recipes soon, thank you Jane!
Best website to use for something like that is this – http://www.cakebaker.co.uk/baking-tin-size-conversion-calculator.html – it’ll tell you how much to use instead. x
Oh my goodness I can’t wait to bake these!!! You are too good Jane! X
Hi, is the dark chocolate too rich? I have brothers who won’t eat dark chocolate so was wondering if it was better to substitute?
Hiya – No honestly it’s not, its essential to the base of the brownie to bake it correctly.
Thank you! Can I please ask- do you melt any of the Terry’s chocolate orange? Or is it just folded in? Thank you!
I just fold it in as the texture of it doesn’t work as well when melted. Use normal dark chocolate for the base.
All you need to do is buy milk chocolate maybe?…
Well actually no you don’t, because milk chocolate doesn’t work as well.
Hi Jane.. your recipe looks so yummy but We do not Terry’s chocolate orange where I am…how can I substitute that?
Use milk/dark chocolate and add orange extract? Or any flavoured chocolate you like.
Hello Jane, these brownies went down a treat with my better half! Do you think I could this recipe with a slight tweak for Kinder Bueno brownies? I love your recipes! 🙂
You could do! I will be doing a Kinder Bueno brownie post early next year, but you could use the kinder chocolate bars in the mix, and then a few minutes before the end of baking add some kinder buenos on top (otherwise they might burn)
I made these the other day & they were so delicious! Thank you for posting easy to follow and tasty recipes! I am so excited to make the Rolo cookie bars next! xxxx
We are gonna make them ant wait
Hi Jane. Please can you tell me in weight how much chocolate orange is required as I have bought the bars and not the ‘orange shaped’ chocolate! Thx
Its about 300g x
Fabulous thank you!
These are currently baking in my oven and they smell AMAZING, love chocolate and love orange. I’m making them for our cake and prosecco club this evening and I am sure they will be well received x
Ahhhh well i hope everyone loves them! x
When you say 2 terry chocolate orange in the recipe do you mean 2 segments from a whole orange, 2 whole oranges! Or 2 of the bars
Yum yum! Just made these and they’re amazing, thanks for the recipe 🙂
