While you’re impressing the family and friends this weekend with your grilling prowess, cooking that amazing leg of lamb or chicken for dinner, you will probably need something equally incredible to finish off the meal. Why not sophisticated and smoked brownies? Oh who am I kidding, sophisticated? No way! Brownies, are ooey and gooey and delicious. Oozing chocolate, dripping frosting, and enough to make any person smile.

METHOD

1. Sift together the flour and baking powder.
2. In a heavy saucepan, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. When melted, remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 5 eggs, vanilla, 3½ cups sugar, and salt for 10 minutes at medium speed. Blend in the melted chocolate at low speed just until mixed (don’t over-beat).
4. Gently stir in the 1 cup chocolate chips, white chocolate, and macadamia nuts.
5. In a heavy saucepan, heat the cream and 1 cup chocolate chips, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
   Beat the 3 eggs, ¹⁄₃ cup sugar, and salt until foamy, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir into the melted chocolate.
6. Preheat the grill to medium or a touch higher (375°F/190°C).
7. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and gently smooth to level. Spread the topping mixture over the brownie mix.
8. Set the soaked plank on the grill and set the brownies on the plank. Close the grill lid and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
9. Cool for several hours or overnight before cutting into squares.

When nearly done, if you’re feeling really adventurous, toss some mini-marshmallows on top to let them roast. Obviously nuts are optional, I know too many people that cant eat them. What toppings and fillings do you like? Do you have a best brownies ever recipe to share?

Happy Grilling!
