by Jasmine Comer

Ingredients

8 oz semi sweet baking chocolate

¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks)

½ cup stout

1 ½ cups sugar

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup flour

¼ cup cocoa powder

½ tsp salt

½ cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.
2. Line an 8″ x 8″ pan with parchment paper.
3. Add the butter and chocolate to a large bowl.
4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave using 30 second increments, stirring after each increment. The chocolate should be nice and smooth, but don’t let it get too hot.
5. After the mixture cools a little, stir in the stout.
6. Then, whisk in the sugar.
7. Whisk in the eggs, one by one. Make sure not to overmix.
8. Then, whisk in the vanilla.
9. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Make sure not to overmix.
10. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
11. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
12. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie comes out (mostly) clean without. There ay be a small amount of brownie stuck to the toothpick, but that is fine.
13. Enjoy!
