 Double Chocolate Orange Brownies are dense and loaded with tons of dark chocolate.
How to Make Homemade Brownies from scratch

Do you ever just want chocolate?

Of course, you do, and so did I.
It was blazing hot out and I had been out messing in the garden and fiddling with the chickens and I am sure I sweated off a few pounds, and as a reward I deserved brownies.

 

Making brownies from scratch is so much easier than people think!

So, I headed into the house and whipped up a batch. Making brownies from scratch is so much easier than people think. Yes, you can do it and you will be happy you did.
I added orange zest to this recipe to give it a bit of a gourmet flare.  Dressing the brownies up enough that you could serve to guests when entertaining.
You can certainly omit the zest and just go with the good old-fashioned Double Chocolate Brownies.  I won’t judge.
 
You could switch these chocolates around if you want a darker brownie melt the bittersweet and add semi-sweet chips at the end.  
For more gooey brownies only cook 25 minutes.
