Orange Chocolate Crisp

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Line a 20cm square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: This mixture will form the base of the crisp.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

   Tip: Be careful not to overheat.

4. 4

   Add the orange juice, orange zest, eggs, and confectioner's sugar to the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Pour the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can create a dense crisp.

6. 6

   Pour the orange marmalade over the top of the crisp mixture.

   Tip: This will create a beautiful, sticky glaze.

7. 7

   Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.

8. 8

   Bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

   Tip: Don't open the oven door during this time, as this can cause the crisp to collapse.

9. 9

   Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish.

   Tip: This will help the crisp set and make it easier to slice.
