Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9"x9" square baking pan parchment paper and spray with cooking spray (or forgo the parchment paper, and butter and flour the dish.) Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ¾ cup of dark chocolate chunks and the butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30 second increments, removing the bowl and stirring after each session.
Once all the chocolate is melted, measure in the sugars and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Crack the eggs in a small bowl, and break the yolks using a fork. Pour into the chocolate and sugar mixture, stirring until combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt.
Sprinkle the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring, then add the Guinness. Stir until there are no longer lumps, and the mixture is well combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the additional ¾ cup of dark chocolate chunks on top of the brownies.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
While the brownies bake, combine the frosting ingredients with a hand mixer, and mix until smooth.
Let cool for 20-30 minutes before drizzling with the cream cheese frosting, then slicing.
Enjoy with a glass of milk... or a pint of Guinness.
