as you know, we partnered with thorn brewing to create an indulgent collection of chuao chocolate-inspired stout beers! since we love creating recipes, you know we had to create one with this beer. and what better way to go than brownies!! 

ingredients:

• 1 stick melted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 golden goodness chocolate bars
• 1/3 cup thorn golden goodness stout beer
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder

instructions: 

1. preheat oven to 350 F. 
2. whisk together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. 
3. once well mixed, add egg and whisk together again. 
4. set that bowl aside and grab a small microwaveable bowl. 
5. break up golden goodness chocolate bars and add stout beer to bowl. 
6. microwave at 30-second increments until the chocolate is mostly melted. then stir to melt the rest of the chocolate. 
7. add to the mix and whisk it all together. 
8. add flour, salt, and cocoa powder and stir together. 
9. we used a parchment lined 8x8 pan, but feel free to use your favorite brownie pan. we recommend generously spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper. 
10. pour mixture into pan. 
11. bake for about 30 minutes. or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserted into the center. the brownies shouldn't jiggle. don't under bake! 
12. let cool completely, then cut and enjoy! 
13. best enjoyed with the rest of the beer if you haven't finished it while waiting for the brownies to bake. :)
