In reply to Christine Hansen. Hi Christine, you can absolutely try doubling this recipe for a 9×13 pan. We’re unsure of the exact bake time — use a toothpick to test for doneness. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.

Can I double the recipe and bake in a 9 X 13″ pan?

The Guinness reduction adds so much depth of flavour and enhances the chocolate in the absolute best way. My whole family loved it.

In reply to Rebecca. Hi Rebecca, If you heat it long enough the alcohol will evaporate, but please do your research and make the best decision for you!

Hi, silly question but I’d like to make these for a St. Patty’s day party where kids and adults will be present. I’m sure the baking of the brownies will bake out the alcohol but for the frosting, will the reduction also cause the alcohol to evaporate? It theoretically should, but just want to check

Sadly disappointed in these brownies. The texture was good but the flavours were VERY disappointing. Neither my wife or I would finish one. Glad we made these a day ahead of our guests coming to dinner as we have time to find an alternate dessert. We ended up throwing them away. I usually really like the recipes on this site but we won’t be doing this one again.

The brownies were good, but the frosting is the real MVP. I couldn’t stop going back just for more frosting. Definitely recommend!
