Not sure if I’ve already rated this 5 stars, but even if I did, it deserves a second perfect rating!!! Any time I’ve made this, it turns out amazing…the reduced Guinness gives it the most wonderful flavor

I am a chef- this recipe is slammin! Great intense flavor yet the malted caramel and espresso shine! I used 4oz Baker’s German Chocolate bar and 4oz Lily’s milk chocolate, 1.5 bottles of regular Guinness and a double shot of fresh brewed espresso from my fav local coffee shop. The frosting: I used 1c. Sifted powdered sugar. I am lactose intolerant so I used Country Crock plant butter sticks and omitted the salt for the batter and frosting. Placed a gentle amount of frosting on the top of the brownies and drizzled melted Lily’s chocolate chips over top. Once it set up, the Lily’s made a nice little intense chocolate crunch to it. Candied walnuts or pecans would be good if chopped although it would steal the true notes of the malt. Served with Guinness/killians irish red. Yeah buddy!

I had my doubts when I thought I may have undercooked this and the frosting was not like any frosting I’d made before but these were SO good! It’s pretty easy and quick to throw together. I’ll definitely be making these again.

Loved the texture and bitterness of the brownie! My only adjustment was melting the butter in the baking pan till very lightly browned and then pouring that over the chopped chocolate (I used 65% Cordillera – look them up, much better choice for the environment and working conditions!)

For me though, the frosting was just not needed. It was sooooooo sweet, and I did add a Tbls of cocoa to try to counteract it, but who needs the frosting really? The brownies are just fantastic as is.

Go raibh maith agat!

Hey there, do you think these would do alright if I made them in a muffin tin with a shorter cooking time?
