About the Recipe: Reflecting a Southern practice, we added a bit of orange flavored liqueur to the brownies. Using a combination of chocolates, produces a rich, decadent dessert brownie. Serve with some fresh orange slices for a flavorful, festive touch.
Serve them in 1 or 2 different styles, using one 13×9-inch pan.
Recipe Inspired by: Chocolatier magazine, October 1991
Cook’s Note: I divided the brownies and enhanced half of them with additional liqueur for adult serving and did not add that to the second half for guests who wanted flavor but no additional liqueur in their dessert.
The brownies can be prepared without dividing the pan for two different styles if desired.
Easy 2-For Style Serving: To Prepare 2 kinds of brownies from one pan:
1st Half of Pan: Drizzle 1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier over half of the hot baked brownies. Sprinkle 1/3 cup chocolate chips over the drizzled brownies. Let chocolate soften and melt; lightly swirl over those brownies. It will only partially cover the brownies with soft swirls.
2nd Half of Pan: To the remaining half of brownies, let cool.
Cool all the brownies in the pan on a wire rack. Place the brownies in the pan in the refrigerator until chocolate is firm and brownies are firm.
To Garnish for two kinds of brownies:
1st Half of Brownies: Top each brownie square with a small spoonfuls of melted chocolate; arrange 3 chopped nuts in the center of each brownie, lightly sprinkle with decorating white sugar or flaked salt as desired.
2nd Half of Brownies: Top each brownie with chocolate dipped walnuts
To Serve as 24 Grand Marnier brownies – follow these 2 steps.
- Chill baked brownies until firm for easier cutting. To remove from the baking pan: Using the two long ends of the foil as handles, lift the 13×9-inch baked brownies out of the pan. Carefully, peel off and discard the foil liner.
- To Serve: With an electric knife or thin sharp knife, cut into about 24 squares. Serve garnished each with a walnut half on a dab of melted chocolate.
