It’s almost Memorial Day. Holy cow, where has the year gone? We like Memorial Day, as it signals the beginning of Summer. And that means: Cookouts! Everyone’s got some great family-type recipes, but pull a switcheroo with dessert this year and make Three Philosophers Ultimate Brownies. From Ommegang:
Three Philosophers Ultimate Brownies
5 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup Three Philosophers reduced to ½ cup
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 pinch of salt
1½ cup walnut pieces
1 cup dark chocolate bits
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter and chocolate together. Let cool. Beat eggs, sugar, beer, and vanilla. Add chocolate/butter mixture, than mix in flour. Fold in walnuts and chocolate bits. Pour into 9″ x 12″ greased aluminum pan. Bake for 33 min at 350. Check for doneness. Let cool before cutting.
Makes 12 - 3″ x” 3 brownies
