Barbecued Chocolate Oranges

Hi Bold Bakers! There’s never an excuse to not have dessert! Sorry, not even when you’re grilling because it’s too hot in the kitchen or out in the wildness by a campfire. Already have an account? These barbecued chocolate oranges are a fantastic summer or BBQ dessert. They’re easy to make and a great recipe for the kids to get in on the fun. When you’re grilling the oranges, the brown batter steams inside — so you end up with an incredibly soft, moist brownie with a wonderful flavor of orange. You can make these either on the grill or by the campfire! Just follow the instructions below, wrap the oranges in tin foil, and place them on the grill or close to your camp’s flame — not directly in the flame though! If you’re really out there roughin’ it, you can use boxed brownie batter instead of homemade.

What Are Barbecued Chocolate Oranges?

Barbecued chocolate oranges are a straightforward dessert. You carefully scoop out the center of an orange (a great snack while you’re waiting for your brownie to finish baking, too!) and pour the batter into the hollowed-out orange. The brownie steams up within the skin of the orange, becoming moist and flavorful!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Barbecued Chocolate Oranges

If you don’t have time to make your own, feel free to use store-bought boxed brownie mix. Make the oranges ahead of time and bring them camping. Put them on the grill or cook close to the campfire (not in the fire.) Make sure you buy medium-large oranges, so there is enough space for your brownie. Do not use clementines or mandarins — their skins are too thin. If you’d like to make just 1 BBQ orange, use my batter recipe for my Microwave Mug Brownie.
