Ash-baked Orange Brownies - 5 easy steps


After grilling we always have an abundance of hot coals and nothing else to grill.  Inspiration came from a Young Women's Activity from the previous week and loads of fun (thanks Mandy and Carrie).  So today  ---- we tried this at home and here you have it ......
 Ash-baked Orange Brownies. 
 
 These are so easy and very scrumptious
Here's how you do it....in five easy steps 

Start with basics -- brownie mix, oranges, and aluminum foil


Step One 
Slice end of the orange cutting on this side (is this the navel side?)
  
Step Two
Using a spoon scoop out inside of orange
do not scoop out lid you just cut - the juices from the lid are needed when cooking
Your oranges should look like this when done
 now you are ready to add the brownie mix
  
Step Three
Make brownies following directions on package
Spoon brownie mix into orange shell filling about 2/3 full -
it will expand so do not overfill
This is Sarah spooning brownie mix into orange shell -
you can be as messy as you want
 
Step Four -
Place top on orange that you sliced previously
Using two sheets of foil--
Wrap covering entire orange
Use another sheet of foil and
Wrap again covering entire orange
 
 
Step Five
Place in hot ashes so orange is surrounded by the hot coals or ashes
 (no flames)
Cook for about 20 minutes
These were done in about 15 - the coals were very hot
 
 
Delicious .... and with a hint of orange
