I've had the opportunity to make so many new friends in the restaurant. Robin Wilson from Altamonte Springs, Florida, is one of those. Robin recently was one of a hundred finalists in the 39th Pillsbury Bake-off, where she won a side-by-side refrigerator and a trip to San Francisco. As she and her husband were enjoying lunch at The Lady and Sons, she mentioned her Orange Brownies, and she was happy to share the recipe. Thanks, Robin, and good luck to ya in your next bake-off! Get that gold, girl!

I wanted to use some oranges up, but I didn't want to use 2 sticks of butter. I halved the recipe and put it in a small square pan. Loved how it turned out. I didn't use extract, but just used some zest and fresh squeezed orange juice to taste. Probably turned out to be more than the recipe called for. And yes, it is more like an orange cake than orange brownies.

This was my second attempt at baking these, thinking I must have screwed something up the first time. They are awful, greasy, sugary, little flavor and not worth the effort when there are so many other great dessert recipes to choose from. Very disappointing!!!!!

Made recipe as written. Cook time was fine. I agree with most reviews that this is NOT a brownie but a cake. Taste is good but not great. I won't make this again.
