Brownies

1. Preheat the oven at 350 F. Grease a 9×9 inch square pan.
2. Add Guinness, butter and chocolate in a deep pan. Cook on low heat till the chocolate and butter melts forming a smooth sauce like consistency. Let cool.
3. Once the sauce cools down (slightly warmer than room temperature), add cocoa and whisk well to form a lump free mixture. Keep aside.
4. In a separate bowl whisk sugar and eggs together till it becomes pale and frothy.
5. Add the Guinness sauce and mix well.
6. Fold in the flour – the batter is ready. Pour into the pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
7. Cool the brownies completely before glazing or cutting.

Glaze

1. In a saucepan add all the ingredients and cook on low till it becomes a smooth sauce. Continue to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or till the sauce thickens a bit.
2. Stir in nuts.
3. Cool completely before pouring on the brownies.
