Notes: I think I just found my new favorite brownie recipe. These are very cakelike, which is great. My other brownie recipe is fudgy, so its nice to have 2 different kinds. The only reason these got a low rating is because they didn’t taste much like Guinness. I wanted more flavor there, and the chocolate sauce was great, but the same problem. You have to make these though. I brought them to work, and they were eaten like ive never seen before. Also, they became a last minute birthday present for mac’s friends will and murdo…happy birthday boys. Try these out though, for real they are great. You can sub the beer for hot water, milk, or any flavored liquid you like, but beer is really the best
