I made this scrumptious dessert when I recently hosted an essential oil class, taught by my good buddy, Tonya Ferguson, formerly of 4 little Fergusons, now of RV Oilers.
This amazing family that I love so dearly, travels across the country in an RV, teaching doTerra oil classes. And they are the best of the best!
And we've been together several times in the year.
What a T-R-E-A-T!! (being together AND the brownies!)
I adapted Tonya's recipe found here at the 4 little Fergusons blog
by adding a few drops of Wild Orange essential oil to the brownie batter and the frosting! OOOOO LA LA!
Orange and chocolate are such an awesome combo.
Adding essential oils is a superior way to flavor up food...and these were SO flavorful.
