I absolutely love those little chocolate oranges and look forward to them each Christmas season. Last week I had to bring a dessert to a little dinner we had with friends and I decided to experiment with the chocolate and orange combo . . . these little brownies are seriously a match made in chocolate heaven! I dare say that they rank right up there with any chocolate and peanut butter combo! So for all those chocolate orange lovers, you will definitely have to give these a try!

Brownies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla

Orange Frosting:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp orange extract
red and yellow food coloring (optional)

Chocolate Ganache Topping:
2 1/4 cups semi-sweet OR milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and cocoa. Once it's completely mixed, add 4 eggs (one at a time, mixing after each one). Add flour, salt and vanilla and mix well....
