Orange KitKat Brownie Cakes

I’ve always had a thing for Kitkat chocolates. Not only do I love eating them, I find them the perfect decorations for pastries and cakes. You might have come across them before in my posts and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a few creations in the past using them in various desserts. I noticed this orange flavoured ones and I loved the two toned effect on the top. I just knew I wanted to make Orange KitKat brownie cakes with them.

In related news, have you seen the recent reels I have created? This is one of them. So if you’re keen on watching a snippet of how the brownie is decorated, go check out my Instagram reels. Unfortuantely, it only allows me a max of 30 seconds so I am unable to show the creations from scratch but hopefully it will be upgarded to the 1 min duration like it has for a few craetors.

The brownie cakes are soft and delicious. They don’t have a cracked top as I use this recipe for a cake like texture. But nonetheless they are AMAZING to taste.
