Sugar plus butter plus chocolate plus beer. The most glorious combination that we never knew existed. With St Patrick’s Day on the horizon, I’ve had Guinness Brownies and Guinness Mac and Cheese on my brain. I figured why wait? Any day is a good day for brownies!

This recipe is proof that brownies can come in all different forms and be equally delicious. These brownies are completely different than my go-to Homemade Brownies but they are just as tasty. This recipe uses melted chocolate, melted butter, and Guinness syrup to create super chewy, moist, fudgy brownies with crackly tops.

Even if you aren’t a fan of Guinness I can guarantee you that you will  like these. The Guinness intensifies the chocolate flavor and adds a hint of malt. Don’t worry, the brownies don’t actually taste like beer.

Recipe Tips

Stack of three Guinness Brownies topped with powdered sugar.

Irish Cream Frosting

This optional frosting really helps to incorporate the “Irish” aspect to these brownies – making them perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. To make the frosting, simply beat butter, powdered sugar, Irish cream, and a touch of vanilla. I like to pipe the frosting in a small swirl on top of each individual brownie.

If you want to skip the frosting, these brownies are equally delicious with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.

If you are brownie obsessed you’ve come to the right place! You can also try my Caramel Brownies, Peanut Butter Brownies, Nutella Brownies, Coconut Brownies or Mug Brownie.
