    We're winning the day with these Guinness Brownies!  These thick and fudgy chocolate brownies are infused with Guinness Stout Beer (win!) and then topped with delicious vanilla frosting with a hint of chocolate bliss!

    This recipe is perfect for St. Patrick's Day, all the game days, parties and anytime you want to party with a fun alcohol flavor twist to your brownies!!

    These Guinness Stout brownies are so scrumptious!  They are more cake-like than chewy, but very chocolatey and they pair perfectly with the boozy frosting we used!

    You can make this frosting with 3 different Irish type alcohols - which Guinness, Bailey's Irish Cream or Irish Whiskey will do quite nicely to keep up with the Irish!

    The Irish have a reputation to uphold when it comes to slinging stout beer or whiskey, but just in case you fear someone might get drunk of these?  Not likely!  The alcohol in the brownies is baked away and so the flavor stays infused in the brownies.  As far as the frosting, we're not doing jiggers or shots of alcohol, just a few tablespoons in a batch of frosting.

    Ingredients 

    Guinness Brownie Recipe

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 6 tablespoons butter cubed
    • 8 ounces dark bittersweet chocolate chips or bar chopped
    • ¾ cup white chocolate chips
    • 4 large eggs room temperature
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup/8 ounces Guinness Extra Stout beer room temperature, no foam

    Layer of chocolate chips

    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Guinness Beer, Irish Cream or Irish Whisky Frosting

    • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
    • 2 ½ - 3 cups powdered sugar
    • optional: ½ - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch salt
    • 3 tablespoons of Guinness Stout or choose Irish Cream or Irish Whiskey

    How to Make fudgy Guinness Brownies 

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or tinfoil. Set aside.

    Guinness Brownies

    2. In a microwavable bowl, place butter, bittersweet chocolate, and white chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second increments until melted.
