Although they look like ordinary mini brownies, they are not, and they are bursting with vibrant flavors. Their secret is orange zest. These brownies are relatively basic. They’re made with butter, sugar, chocolate, flour, eggs, and vanilla extract. Adding orange zest gives the recipe an excellent brightness. I used almost a whole orange zest, so… Continue reading Orange Brownie Buttons
