Method

Preheat your oven to 180C.

Line a brownie tin with baking parchment.

Place the butter, Resident Pheasant 70% Dark Chocolate and orange zest in a saucepan and very gently melt over a low heat.

Stir occasionally until you get a silky smooth mixutre, taking care not to over heat.

While you let the choccy mixture cool, in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk until the mixture is pale. You’ll know it is done when the mixture has doubled in volume and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted.

Gently stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and cocoa, stir in.

Next add your bar of Resident Pheasant Orange Dark Chocolate. Give your brownies attitude by chopping the chocolate into shards and adding this to the mixture.

Pour into the lined tin. Bake for 35-40 mins.

Cool in the tin, then cut into squares. Warning…they may not be around long!

Bake for 30-40 minutes. Tip: The top should look set and start to crack. That’s when you know your brownies have serious attitude.

It’s also quick and fairly easy, with few ingredients. One tip to make them extra special is to leave your brownies overnight covered, and then simply cut up and serve the next day. This allows them to absorb all the orange flavours and your guests will thank you.
