Instructions

  1. Line an 8- by 8-in. baking pan with a 12- by 17-in. sheet of foil or waxed paper.
  2. In a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of hot water, use a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon to stir together chocolate, cream, Grand Marnier, and marmalade until chocolate is melted. Scrape chocolate mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top.
