If you’re contemplating whether to indulge in stress-eating or sip your way through a bottle of wine, why not do both? Inauguration Day is upon us, and many are seeking ways to navigate through it. Whether you’re reaching for comfort food or aiming for a more liquid escape, we have the perfect solution: boozy brownies.
Food blogger Samantha Greene from A Cookie Named Desire has created a recipe that feels so inviting, you might find yourself wanting to drop everything and join her for a lifetime of culinary adventures. While we can’t guarantee she has enough room for everyone, she has shared a delightful recipe for red wine brownies that’s just what you need.
Yes, you read that correctly—red wine brownies! Feast your eyes on this indulgent creation, featuring drunken cranberries that add a unique twist. The visual alone is enough to inspire any baker.
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these decadent treats:
- ¾ cup red wine
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 stick of butter (½ cup), plus extra for greasing
- 6 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate (mix and match as you prefer)
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Samantha reassures us that even novice bakers can tackle this recipe successfully, so don’t fret if you’re not a pro in the kitchen. If you’re in a pinch and considering a boxed brownie mix, she suggests giving it a shot, but warns it may not achieve the same delightful results. Regardless, a little chocolate and wine can only make things better.
So pour yourself a glass of your favorite red, and follow along with the full recipe over at A Cookie Named Desire.
