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!

Our family did not care for this. First bite seemed ok, but it was way too sweet and I love sweets. Love Paula but not this recipe.

Wow, these are so good. If you are want something different from chocolate sweets or other typical things, this is such a refreshing change! It is unbelievably delicious. I'm going to make them once a week. And I LOVE Paula Dean!!
