<ul class="ingredients-main-list">
<li class="ingredients-single-item">200g unsalted butter</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">3 Terry's Chocolate Orange segments (or 100g orange-flavored chocolate), chopped</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">250g caster sugar</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">3 large eggs</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 tsp vanilla extract</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">Zest of 1 orange</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">2 tbsp orange juice</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">120g plain flour</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">30g cocoa powder</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">½ tsp salt</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">100g Terry's Chocolate Orange segments (or orange-flavored chocolate), roughly chopped</li>
</ul>
<ol class="no-list-style">
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the brownies out later. The overhang is your best friend for clean removal, trust me on this one.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Place the butter and 200g dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set this over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth – about 5 minutes. Once melted, add the 3 Terry's Chocolate Orange segments and stir until incorporated. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes – you don't want to scramble the eggs in the next step!
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened – this should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer or 4-5 minutes by hand. You're looking for the mixture to leave a ribbon trail when you lift the whisk.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice. Fold everything together gently but thoroughly using a spatula until well combined and no streaks remain. The orange zest and juice are what gives these brownies their distinctive flavor, so don't skimp here!
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt directly into the bowl. Fold these dry ingredients in gently until just combined – be careful not to overmix as this will make your brownies tough rather than fudgy. Stop folding as soon as you no longer see dry flour – a few tiny lumps are absolutely fine.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Reserve about 25g of the chopped Terry's Chocolate Orange segments for topping. Fold the remaining 75g into the brownie batter until evenly distributed. The chocolate pieces will create pockets of orange-flavored chocolate throughout the brownies – absolutely divine!
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>
Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved Terry's Chocolate Orange pieces evenly over the top, pressing them in very slightly so they stick but remain visible.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes. The perfect brownie should be set around the edges but still have a slight wobble in the center. A toothpick inserted 2cm from the edge should come out with a few moist crumbs attached – if it's completely clean, they're overbaked! Remember, brownies will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin – this takes about 2 hours and requires patience, but it's crucial for achieving that perfect fudgy texture. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out and transfer to a cutting board.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>
With a sharp knife, cut into 16 squares. For the cleanest cut, wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between slices. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, though I guarantee they won't last that long!
