Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325. Using a teaspoon of the Blood Orange Olive Oil, grease a 9x13 baking pan. Line the pan with a strip of parchment, cut to overhang the long sides of the pan.
-
In a large bowl set over a double boiler, slowly melt the butter with the dark chocolate. Stir constantly until completely melted.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the Blood Orange Olive Oil, eggs, Mandarin Balsamic, orange zest and sugar. Mix until well combined.
-
Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder and add.
-
Place in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out with very moist crumbs adhering.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then lift out using the parchment and cool completely before cutting. Makes about 24 brownies!
