Method:
  • Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Grease and flour a 9X13 (3.5L) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
    • Whisk together the flour, cocoa and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Melt the butter, bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate in a glass or metal bowl over a pot of gently simmer water, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
  • Stir in the flour mixture and chopped pecans (if using) until just combined.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Stir in the stout (batter will be very runny).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  • Do not overbake. The centre should be soft.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:
  • Melt the peanut butter chips and ale together in a glass or metal bowl placed over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon dollops of the frosting onto the cooled brownies and spread evenly overtop, working quickly before the frosting hardens.
  • Cut the cooled brownies into squares.

Brownies can be made up to 2 days in advance and they stay moist for up to 5 days.

    Caramel Sauce! How can you live without this stuff on your Ice Cream, or Cake?

The syrup keeps the mixture liquid - easing your fears.

Welcome to the legourmet.tv, Ryan and David were kind enough to send me over a copy of 'Entertaining with Booze', their latest cook-book and from that I have chosen a brand-new recipe, Black and Tan Brownies, because I have a bit of sweet tooth as the first one to try.

So, the first thing you need is to just mix your various dry ingredients, flour, cocoa, the salt. Just give it a little whisk, stir it up, get it blended. Step two, after you have this done is to put your chocolate and butter into a double boiler on a stove. Melt it all and then let it cool. So, I have already done that step. It is ready back here. Still little warm and it is still cooling.

So, as it sits there and continues to cool, I have got my sugar. In stand mixer here and I am going to add some eggs and that needs to get blended, on high, oops! Do not forget this step. Hold about three minutes. Alright, so there we go. Now, we have got our cooled chocolate. Now, the trick with the chocolate is that you do not want to add it all at once. We only want to add a little bit and turn it on just on low. We add it all at once and it is still little warm, you are going to cook your eggs. That at once, give it a time.

I am going to take a moment and I am just going to scrape it down here a little bit. Then I am just going to blend it for just a few more seconds just to make sure that it is all blended. It is a very chocolaty smelling. So, that is good to go. Then you need to add the flour. Now, you only want to stir it until it is blended, so just, you know slow. You don't have to over stir it. There we go, stirred, it is mixed.

Alright, I now need to add some stout. And of course as always, just a little bit more than you need in the can. Alright so when you throw it in again, you don't want to over mix it. It will become quite runny. Alright, I am ready to put it into the pan. My already floured nine by thirteen, it is really quite runny. It is surprisingly runny. It is going to end up being it fabulous.

Now my oven is already heated to three seventy five. It's going to cook for about twenty- twenty five minutes. Everybody's ovens are a little bit different, here we go. Alright our time is up. The description says that I should be able to put a tooth pick in at the edge and it comes out clean, so it's done. We will take it out and made it cool.

Our brownies are cool; it is now time to make the Tan portion of our brown and tan. I have got some peanut butter chips in our double boiler and probably I need a quarter cup of yale and steam to melt those down, alright. Let us bring the whole thing over. Put the icing on, just dope it on there. Alright, so when you get all this spread out, you let it cool, slice it up, share it with friends. Brown and Tan Brownies from the 'Entertaining with Booze' recipe book! I think that's, see it's already stiffening up, I think that's all I am going to able to do. Ah! I have got few black spots and everything. Well, give it a test, I hope you have fun with it. Thanks for stopping by.
