Ingredients
1lb cooked chopped bacon
2 boxes of Double Chocolate Brownie Mix
2 eggs
⅔ cup Guinness Stout
⅔ cup oil
227g softened butter
2 cups icing sugar
Method
Step 1: Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the Guinness and oil, and stir.
Step 2: Add the brownie mix and stir until combined.
Step 3: Add the bacon bits and stir until combined.
Step 4: Grease a large casserole dish (or any oven-proof dish that is large enough). Pour the mixture in and bake for 60-70 minutes. You can check when its ready by inserting a cocktail stick into the middle until it comes out clean.
Step 5: For the icing, add the icing sugar and butter into a bowl and mix until it becomes a nice not too thick and not too runny consistency. (Add 2-4 tablespoons of Guinness for even more stout flavour)
Once the brownies are cooked and cooled, frost the brownies with the icing and sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits.
