Grilled Mandarin Campfire Brownies with Crunchy Pork Panko

Introduction

Discover the ultimate campfire dessert with our Mandarin Campfire Brownies, grilled to perfection on an Arteflame with a Pork Panko twist. A smoky, citrusy, chocolatey delight awaits!

Ingredients

• 4 Satsuma or Mandarin Oranges
• 1 Box Brownie Mix (suggested: Betty Crocker)
• 1 Tbsp Pork Panko
• 1 Chocolate Bar

Instructions

1. Prep the Grill: Ignite your Arteflame grill, allowing it to reach a steady heat.

2. Prepare Oranges: Slice the tops off the mandarin oranges and carefully scoop out the insides to create a hollow "cup."

3. Mix Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter.

4. Fill Oranges: Spoon the brownie batter into each mandarin orange cup, filling up to about an inch from the top. Halfway through filling, sprinkle 1/4 tsp of Pork Panko into each cup for a crunchy twist.

5. Wrap in Foil: Securely wrap each filled mandarin orange in aluminum foil.

6. Grill: Adjust the coals on your Arteflame grill to concentrate the heat on the sides rather than directly underneath the oranges. Place the foil-wrapped oranges near the fire, ensuring they remain upright. Rotate them frequently for even cooking.

7. Cook: Allow the oranges to roast for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve: Let the campfire brownies cool slightly before unwrapping. Serve with pieces of chocolate bar sprinkled with the remaining Pork Panko for an extra flavorful crunch.

Tips

• For easier scooping, gently roll the mandarins on a flat surface before cutting the tops off.
• Ensure the brownie batter isn’t too runny to prevent spilling inside the mandarin cups.
• Turn the oranges frequently on the grill to avoid hot spots and ensure even cooking.

Variations

• Try adding mini marshmallows to the batter for an extra gooey texture.
• Sprinkle crushed nuts instead of Pork Panko for a nutty crunch.
• Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor.

Best pairings

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sweet and creamy contrast.
• Pair with a warm cup of mulled cider for a cozy experience.
• Enjoy with a glass of red wine for a sophisticated dessert option.
