Steps:
- For the base: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the butter, flour, cocoa, confectioners' and granulated sugars, chocolate and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture is slightly damp and holds together when pinched, about 1 minute.
- Generously spray a 9- by 13-inch pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with aluminum foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on all four sides and spray the foil as well. Sprinkle the crust mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly along the bottom. Take care to seal up any cracks. Bake the base until it is no longer shiny and leaves only a slight indentation when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. After removing the base, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, make the orange filling: Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, flour and pinch of salt together in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl until smooth. Whisk in the orange and lemon juices and zests. Pour the filling over the warm crust. Bake until the filling is just set, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool the bars in the pan completely on a rack. When cool, refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. Lift the bars out of the pan by using the foil. Trim the edges and cut into 24 bars. Dust with confectioners' sugar and top with a strip of candied orange, if using, before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or more will give you the best results.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are at the same temperature. This will help them to melt together smoothly and evenly. If the butter is too cold, it will seize up and the chocolate will become grainy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixed batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Chocolate orange squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and refreshing orange zest, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
