orange brownies
(2 ratings)
These are so good!! A nice, refreshing change from the normal chocolate brownies. They've been a hit at potlucks, bake sales, family parties, and at our school restaurant. I prefer to make them using the orange cream cheese buttercream; but the orange glaze is tasty as well. *I got this from one of the Paula Deen newsletters that I get via email.
