Boozy, dark chocolate brownies with a nutty glaze.
By Pallavi Gupta
You definitely taste Guinness in the brownies, but if you like a stronger boozy flavor then you can add a little more in the glaze. Its totally optional as it does make the glaze slightly bitter, but if you like that flavor then go for it. Try these grown up brownies, they are a little different from the regular ones.
