I have to give my husband credit for this idea-since we love chocolate and orange together, he suggested I come up with this recipe. Now they're not only his favorite, but also the whole family's. I'm always asked to bake these brownies for family gatherings. -Elinor Townsend, North Grafton, Massachusetts
