Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
Orange Frosting:
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1½ teaspoon orange extract
- red and yellow food coloring
Chocolate Ganache Topping:
- 2¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and cocoa. Once it's completely mixed, add 4 eggs one at a time, mixing after each one.
- Add flour, salt and vanilla and mix well. Spread on large (10x15x1 inch) greased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes and remove from oven once finished.
- Let cool for 30-60 minutes (stick in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the cooling process).
- For the orange frosting, mix butter, milk, powdered sugar and extract. Add food coloring (I used about 10 drops of yellow and 3 drops of red to get my pale orange color).
- Frost brownies and then put in freezer for another 20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave and spread on top of the frosting layer.
- Freeze another 20 minutes to set.
