Grace Neill's Chocolate and Guinness Brownies
By Hklbrries
Grace Neill's is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest bar in Ireland. It first opened in 1611 as the King's Arms in Donaghadde, County Down, and was renamed in the 19th century for its former landlady, a woman who reportedly greeted all visitors to the inn with a welcoming kiss between puffs on her clay pipe. Today guests at Grace Neill's, which includes a bar and restaurant named Bistro Bistro, often report "sightings" of the woman, which some attribute to one too many servings of these Guinness-spiked brownies.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch square pan.
In an electric mixer, combine the eggs and superfine sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and beat into the egg mixture.
Sift the flour and cocoa together and beat into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the Guinness.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. To serve, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares.
