I am in love with these yummy, orange-laden blondies. They taste absolutely amazing!
Check out what my friends over at Dessert Now Dinner Later have to say about this recipe:
I googled “Orange Brownies” to see if Cathy got the recipe somewhere online so I could link the recipe to a source & it looks like it is an altered version from Paula Deen. I love Paula Deen! Anyway, I decided to read the reviews from Paula Deen’s recipe. A lot of the readers complained that the brownies were more cake-like, so I further altered it just a tad & I got this moist, dense Blonde Orange Brownie with Cream Cheese Glaze. It’s a fabulous Springtime dessert. The title “Orange Brownies” is a little deceiving when there is no chocolate in them, so I changed the name in order save myself any angry readers.
These blondies are a real treat when you are craving something citrusy and sweet.
