Chocolate Orange Marmalade Brownies

Chocolate and orange together -- one of my favorite flavor combinations. I found this recipe after a neighbor gave me a gift of some homemade orange marmalade, way too much for us to have on toast alone.

Steps

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f.

Spread the nuts in a large , shallow baking pan and toast in the oven about 8 minutes , or until lightly toasted.

Remove and cool , then break them into pieces and reserve.

Grease a 13x9 1 / 2-inch baking pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter.

In the top of a double boiler , over simmering water , place the remaining butter and the chocolate.

Cover and heat until the chocolate is almost completely melted.

Remove from the heat.

Uncover and stir until smooth.

Add the marmalade , stirring until it has melted and combined with the chocolate.

Stir in the vanilla extract and orange extract and set aside until it is warm , but no longer hot.

Sift the flour and salt and reserve.

In the bowl of a mixer or by hand , beat the eggs until frothy.

Add the sugar and beat until light colored and thickened.

With the mixer on low , add the warm chocolate mixture , scraping the bowl and beating the mixture for a few seconds to combine.

Add the flour and salt.
