These are yummy! I made these to take to a picnic and they almost didn't make it because I couldn't stop sampling them. I didn't have orange extract on hand, so I substituted orange liquor. It turned out perfectly. The recipe tastes more like a cake than brownies-very light and fluffy texture. Only for those with a sweet tooth-very sweet and orange flavor. Definitely making again.
