Overly sweet and to much frosting. The brownie was really densed, but it had a good taste.

This recipe is so good! When you think of brownie you think of chocolate, but don't expect chocolate at all. Instead, it is an orange-like brownie and super tasty. It's different, but a good different that all of my friends and family have really enjoyed. You can even make it without the frosting (in which some of my family prefer since they aren't frosting lovers and it's still really good. I like to make less frosting, and drizzle the top so you can taste just a little bit. It is the best dessert I have ever made, and so easy!
