![]() ![]() Enjoy! PS - Compartes makes seasonal beer chocolate truffles too!ģ/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter (use salted for added flavor)ħ ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (see our recommendation)ġ cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely choppedġ/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided, room temperatureħ ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (see our recommendation) I love how rustic the scattered walnuts look on top of the brownies, plus they add a lovely crunch. ![]() To put an exclamation point on the spiciness I added a pinch of cayenne and cinnamon, just for a hint lingering in the background, and lightly sprinkled halved walnuts on top for their toasty, nutty goodness. It sounds contradictory, fudgy yet light, but the bubbles appear to be working their magic. I chose to use the Bruery's Rugbrod, a toasty, spicy, Christmas-y Danish Rye ale that gave the brownies a lightness belied by their fudginess. Toasty, bready, toffee, coffee, chocolate flavors come to mind, and you can go a little crazy with the possibilities (could you imagine coffee porter brownies?). The trick is in using a dark, malty beer you like that already has some desserty characteristics. And anyway, it's not like I'm pouring PBR into my brownie mix. ![]() I know this sounds a little weird, ok, a lot weird, but these are some awesome brownies. ![]()
