How To Make grand marnier brownies (tnt)

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan. Melt chocolate and butter in medium pan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Beat the brown and white sugars and the eggs in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add chocolate, 3 T. of the Grand Marnier, the vanilla and orange peel, mixing until blended. Mix in flour, salt and chocolate chips on low speed. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until sides look done and top feels firm. A cake tester inserted 2 inches from center should test clean, but the center will jiggle and look undercooked. Remove from oven and brush the top with remaining 1 T. Grand Marnier. Cover pan with plastic wrap and cool completely. Cut into 2 inch squares. The brownies may be stored, covered, at room temperature for several days, or they may be frozen. Defrost, covered, at room temperature. This sophisticated brownie has just enough Grand Marnier added to remind us that orange is wonderful with chocolate. Makes 16

  Note: I've made these for large parties, and I found that I didn't make enough, as they went in a hurry. Should have made a triple batch. lc
