Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, Grand Marnier, and orange zest until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking!).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
