Guinness Brownies

I've been lazy lately and not designing my own recipes. At the same time, if there is a recipe that is just amazing, why change it? I came across an amazing brownie recipe in my search for a St. Patrick's Day themed dessert. I really wanted something with Guinness. My first real experience with Guinness was in 2008 on a trip to Dublin, Ireland. I visited the Guinness factory with my sister and brother. I've never been able to replicate the taste of freshly brewed Guinness with any bottled or draft variety in the states.

So, on my quest for a recipe I came across this amazing Guinness Brownie recipe. I have no tips to provide. The directions are fantastic! The only thing I did different than the picture posted was google for a image of a four leaf clover. I printed it out rather large, cut it out and placed it on my brownies. I then dusted my brownies with confectioners sugar and removed the cut out. It left a rather nice imprint of a four leaf clover on my brownies. They really are delicious. Even if you are not a fan of Guinness I highly recommend this recipe. You don't taste the Guinness at all even though you use a 1-1/4 c. of Guinness in the recipe. All the Guinness does is bring out the flavor of the chocolate, and I can't say it enough - they are amazing. 

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. 

Enjoy!
