There were some tangerines in my fridge that I needed to use so I whipped out my cookie magazines to get some ideas. Yes, I save some of my magazines. I originally thought about doing a biscotti or some type of shortbread cookie and then I flipped open the pages of my Better Homes and Gardens magazine to this recipe.
I followed the recipe almost exactly except that I substituted shortening for the butter when it was time to make the orange icing and that was only because my refrigerator was lacking in the butter department.
Other than taking a few 30 minute breaks to let the brownies cool and the chocolate set these were relatively easy to make. I put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes after putting the chocolate coat on and they sliced wonderfully. There's a nice contrast with the creamy frosting and the cake-like brownie and they aren't too sweet.
These would be great to serve at a party or a holiday lunch or dinner. I'll be taking them to work for a holiday luncheon and I'll let you know the verdict. But don't wait for me to tell you how they were devoured and loved by all. Strap your apron on and get to baking so you can enjoy them yourself!!
