  1. A keeper! Can't wait to make again.
     
  2. Outstanding! A big hit at our house! Everyone thought they were a new kind of LEMON bar!? Will make again!
     
  3. Great recipe! I made this for my office cookoff competition (the contest required participants to use orange in a recipe) and won 2nd place! They really do come out with the consistancy of brownies. Very tasty! Note: Be sure to spray the pan very well, they are very moist and can stick if you don't grease the pan.
     
  4. I really enjoy the taste of these orange brownies or whatever you want to call them. I too have been making them ever since I saw Paula make them on her show . I have also tried a cream cheese orange frosting on them and it came out delicious. Thanks for taking the time to post.
     
  5. Not really a brownie in texture but they are terrific. Should call them orange delights.

  1. My grandkids loved these, they did not last a day. I found them too sweet for me as I am trying to avoid sugar. I have been trying to come up with an alternative to the amount of sugar and calories. I added all the nutritional information from each ingredient and came up with approx 54 calories for a one inch square. And you do not want to know the rest! But this was more like cake to me, but oh so yummy. I thought about doing the lemon as another poster said but have not got around too it. I did however use one cup sugar on one cup Altern sweetener instead and move over butter instead of real butter. That turned out more cake like than the original but tasty, it did not have the wow factor these had. I give these and triple A
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in New York City and work in Commercial Real Estate. I love to browse through recipes and read through cookbooks. I also love the theater, hiking, music, entertaining-to name a few! My favorite cookbook is one from Barefoot Contessa-I have prepared many of her recipes; they are easy to prepare and come out nicely. I also love to watch Foodnetwork TV when time allows! Pet peeves? I live in NYC and my kitchen is really small. I would love to have a huge kitchen-that is my only pet peeve! Would love to have one month off to prepare all of the recipes that I have clipped over the years!
