Dark Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting

 

Why is this a Foodgasm?

You got some dark chocolate cupcakes, but wait....is that Guinness, oh my! Then I topped it with caramel frosting, woah....but then I took it up another notch, just one more. I added sea salt! That is like bam, Bam, BAM! Yes I found a way to bring you dark chocolate, stout AND salted caramel! YES! Then I reduced the fat AND made it easy to make!!

Your welcome!

I came up with this idea at the supermarket, while getting the supplies I needed. I have had dark chocolate with salted caramel truffles, then I thought why not make this as a cupcake?! Not too weird or crazy! Plus I know I can do it with a cake mix- EASY too score!

Double Stout Guinness Sliders


Why is this a Foodgasm?

Who doesn't like to go out for some burgers and beer? Well I took the two and fused them into the perfect combination they were destined to be! I marinated the ground beef in Guinness, then to add a double shot of that stout action I made caramelized onion with a stout reduction! But wait, there's more! To add to the delicious Irish action I topped these sliders with Dubliner cheese, a sweet aged Irish cheese! I even cut the fat using lean ground beef for the sliders, because I love my heart and yours!

Perfect for your Valentine: Irish Cake Bombs

Why is this a Foodgasm?

What happens when an Irish Car Bomb becomes a cupcake? What's more, it happens to be amazingly decedent and low fat? A new Foodgasm has been born! This is it: sinfully smooth red velvet cake with Guinness undertones topped with Irish Cream frosting. Perfect for any boyfriend, husband or gourmet cupcake lover, this little guy is sure to please! This is quick and easy to make and you can really taste the Guinness and Irish Cream Flavors! Why not combine my love for a good beer with my food!

So as you can tell I have been slightly obsessed with cooking with beer lately, namely Guinness. I made Guinness Beef Stew, then I even made some low fat kielbasa with beer and kraut. I have been experimenting and browsing blogs for some ahhhhmazing beer ideas. Even came across Guinness Brownies on Hall Nesting! The possibilities are endless! Who knows what will come next...any ideas on more food beer combos? What would you like to see from me?

Ahhh Beef Stew, it is perfect and oh so comforting in the winter! I took your traditional beef stew and but I had to kick that puppy up a notch. What should I add? BEER! Not just any beer, but Guinness! So you got this subtle dark beer flavor with your beefy goodness, just to kick those notes of espresso to the next level, I added the secret ingredient.....
